This study investigates the linguistic features of short news articles, aiming to identify patterns and trends in language use within this genre. Using a corpus-based approach, we analyze a diverse collection of short news pieces, focusing on lexical, syntactic, and discourse-level characteristics. Our findings shed light on the unique linguistic strategies employed in the concise communication of information in the news media.
