The topic of my bachelor thesis are phraseological units in titles in sports articles. The aim of this study is to answer the following questions:
• Are there different types of titles with phraseological units and if so, which types?
• What is the function of phraseological units in titles in sports articles?
Data for this study were obtained by reading through an online German sports newspaper. I focused on the articles published in September 2020 and selected 35 titles with phraseological units. I wrote out the titles that included phraseological units and checked the phraseological units in an online dictionary. I created a table for each phraseological unit and filled in its dictionary form. The phrase was not considered if there was no entry in the dictionary.
This bachelor thesis consists of two parts, theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical part I explain the key concepts in the field of phraseology. I briefly present the newspaper article, the role of headlines and the function of phraseological units in headlines.
In the empirical part, I present the parameters which I used to analyse each phraseological unit. In addition to the already written dictionary form and the meaning of the phraseological unit, I also entered the function of the phrase and evaluation into the table.
