Abstract

This paper investigates how implicit cultural meanings emerge from metaphor and discourse macrostructure in English and Uzbek news headlines. The study combines a hermeneutic reading of headline metaphors with macro-structural discourse analysis, arguing that what appears as stylistic economy often functions as cultural coding. A brief comparative discussion shows how metaphorical patterns and thematic macrostructures differ across English and Uzbek online media and how these differences shape reader expectations.
