Summary/Abstract: The objects of the current article are the expressive headlines of articles published on the newsportal Delfi. lt collected by the author from October 2012 to June 2014. The expression and presentation of the headline determines whether the article will be read at all; therefore, emotionally charged lexis is used deliberately. The purpose of the current article is to analyse the expressive headlines of articles published on the news portal Delfi.lt and find out the linguistic means of expression used in order to attract the readers’ attention. Metaphoric name-words, figurative verbs, neologisms, jargon, vulgarisms, antonomasias, personal names, phraseologisms, quotations and foreign language inserts are analysed in the article; out of them, traditional phraseologisms and figurative verbs were the most frequent.
