Introduction
 This paper is an attempt to suggest how English news headline works under the Relevance Theory. The importance of the role of headlines in the communicative act performed by newspapers can hardly be exaggerated, yet the nature of this role has virtually never been explicated in the literature. The analysis explains why the construction of a successful headline requires an understanding of the readers--their state of knowledge, their beliefs and expectations and cognitive styles –no less than it requires an understanding of the story. It also explains the fact that skilled newspaper readers spend most of their reading time scanning the headlines—rather than reading the stories. Since the Relevance Theory was invented, it has got great attention in the field of pragmatics. After twenty years’ of development, the Relevance Theory has been widely used in many fields. The study of the application of Relevance Theory is very valuable. In the field of news, many scholars have tried to explain the writing of news from the angle of Relevance Theory. This is very useful to the writing of news. With these analyses, the writers of news can compose news in a better way. At the same time, there are also some shortcomings, for example, and the analysis is not so comprehensive; especially the analysis of the news headlines is rare. So through the analysis of English news headline, the writer tries to make clear the applications of Relevance Theory in news headlines. The writer hopes this thesis will be valuable to the understanding of news.
