This study analyses Russian and Czech front page headlines language over the period of twenty years (1979-1999). The investigation focuses mainly on textual and cognitive functions of headlines and on the linguistic means through which these functions are realised. Different language and content strategies used by headline writers are identified and evaluated and considerable changes have been found. The headline infrastructure has shifted from topic-naming to summarising headlines and this is accompanied by the grammatical structure of the headlines as well as the word count. There is an increase in erotetic headlines which peaked in 1989.The investigation shows that different stylistic strategies are used, their variety and number increasing in the 1999 corpus. The formality of the headline language has changed, too. Bookish and very formal lexis was replaced by neutral language, and a small number of headlines with informal and colloquial lexis also appeared. Popular culture emerged as a source for intertextual headlines in 1999. This indicates that a greater effort was made to identify with the readers, to reach them through their language and experience and so to broaden the readership base.Changes have also occurred in content strategies. Personalisation of headlines became popular, news actors are more frequent and they are evaluated more. The evaluation trend has changed from broadly positive to broadly negative. There is an almost total absence of women in the headlines in 1979 and this situation has changed somewhat during the later period. The news concerning them, however, tends to be human interest stories rather than hard news.The findings have shown that the language and content changes are comparatively small between 1979 and 1989 but rather extensive between 1989 and 1999. It would seem that they are the result of the transformation of the social system which had a major impact on several fronts. It is therefore feasible to speculate that at a time of major political upheavals language change occurs more swiftly than at times of political calm.
