ANALYSING A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE: A LEXICAL AND GRAMMATICAL PERSPECTIVE

The present paper is about analysing a newspaper article titled“Ukraine Criseis: UK to send tents and winter clothing” which was published in November 2015 on the BBC website. The language of the article was investigated in terms of lexis and grammar, namely four parameters were applied: Word Analysis, Ideational Representation Analysis,Interpersonal Representation Analysis(which includes attitude,graduation and engagement)and Textual Representation Analysis(which includes Thematic structure and cohesion).Although the article seems to be short, it carried a lot of language and interactions with the reader among which some were expressed by the use of punctuation marks.
