On the structure of titles of reports

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses prepositional phrases used in the titles of reports in the context of present-day tendencies of usage and provides recommendations. Publications offering recommendations give reference to the genitive case as a major means of expressing the object of report. Thus, report titles should first of all include genitival constructions. Prepositional phrases could be used if the genitival construction is unsuitable for semantic reasons. The phrase ataskaita dėl (‘report on’) can be used when the statistical data is given together with its analysis, reasons for the problematic situation, difficulties, predicted outcomes and other issues related to the existing situation. The phrase ataskaita apie (‘report about/on’) can be used when other means of expression (like the genitival construction or the phrase ataskaita dėl) are unsuitable for semantic reasons, are ambiguous or when the position of the genitive is already taken.
