Abstract

This study examines linguistic features in 15 selected business articles from the CNN website. The articles range in length from 300 to 2000 words. Employing qualitative methods and descriptive analysis, the study delves into the aspects outlined in David Crystal's framework. Specifically, it identifies a total of approximately 2,480 linguistic features, categorized as lexical (131), orthographic (1041), grammatical (1189), and discourse (119). Notably, the dominant linguistic feature observed is conjunctions, which hold a crucial role in establishing coherence and clarity in news presentation. Adopting a case study approach, the study seeks to comprehensively understand how these linguistic features operate within the context of business news. This contributes to refining news writing strategies, benefiting writers, editors, and content quality. The focused research design allows for a meticulous exploration of linguistic patterns, elucidating their significance in conveying clear and coherent information to readers.
