Abstract
The paper analyzes the structure of headlines in the Italian press in the digital era. The goal is to identify trends in headline transformation and their adaptation to modern media formats. To achieve this goal, we employed methods of structural, semantic and pragmatic analysis of headlines. The research material consists of headlines of Italian media. The findings reveal structural changes in headlines, their theme-rheme organization features and the role of punctuation in their compo sition. The study develops a typology of nominal themes, identifying structural models of themes (single-component, two-component, and three-component). Key trends include increased expressiveness and communicative autonomy.
