Abstract

This paper analyses linguistic expressions in newspaper headings on ‘An Announcement of the Research Findings of A New Airport Construction Plan’ in 2016. As online journalism prevails these days, specific groups’ selfish perspectives are made news. As a result, it is natural for existing newspapers report news reflecting their own interest and their enthusiastic readers’ views. Thus, articles of four newspapers concerning ‘An Announcement of the Research Findings of A New Airport Construction Plan’ naturally revealed different viewpoints. The study can be summarized as follows: First, the headlines of the four newspapers are divided into two types. The Kyunghyang Shinmun and the Hankyoreh show subjective attitudes towards the announcement as they regard it as an event tearing apart or disrupting the public sentiment since then president did not deal the issue well for over 5 or 10 years. The Chosunilbo and the JoongAng Ilbo take neutral attitudes, as these media grasp that the plan can save around 6 trillion won in pursuit of economic feasibility. Second, the leads in the given newspapers also are classified into two categories. The Kyunghyang Shinmun and the Hankyoreh induce the residents of neighboring regions to have negative views of the president and political circles by making a ‘nullifying’ frame regarding the construction plan of ‘a new airport in the southeastern region of Korea.’ The Chosunilbo and the JoongAng Ilbo appear to make people in Busan and Daegu recognize that a new airport will be built on a neutral site by suggesting ‘’an expansion of Gimhae Airport’ as a third alternative. Third, the article texts of four newspapers express each media’s perspective. The Kyunghyang Shinmun uses subjective words aggressively in its article and mainly utilized passive voice and subject-omitted expressions in order to avoid revealing clear subjects. The Chosunilbo chiefly uses objective vocabulary as predicative by citing some contents from the announcement. While the JoongAng Ilbo also writes mostly neutral expressions by using objective words as predicative, it leads the public to see ‘the expansion of Gimhae Airport’ positively. The Hankyoreh delivers the case negatively to the readership by using direct directive expressions of the government responsibility.
