| situation. It is the Russian Federation.” [5]
In this example, the quotations from an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council reproduce the speaker’s statement together with the statement of the opposing party, Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, that elicited it. In the response under analysis, the combination of cleft construction and contrast has a heightening effect. The meaning suggested is “it was the Russian Federation and no one else”. In this paper we moved on from the vocabulary-based view of the language of the news [1] to look at the features of news citation as a site for investigating different kinds of expertise projected into the discourse. To this end, we introduced and illustrated certain ways in which the selection of the quotations - emphatic syntactic structures - can reinforce the message of the author. Because of the concise way newspaper texts are written, syntax and vocabulary are both compressed into an intense concentration of communicative form. Therefore, apart from puns, alliteration, reference to proverbs and inversions of popular sayings in the headlines, there is high reliance on existential clauses, syntactic parallelism, anaphora, contrast and cleft constructions in quotations for conveying the intended implications.
