  Introduction
  
  The present research is directed towards the analysis of lexical and phraseological characteristics of The New York Times publications and their Russian translations’ features. It is known that linguistic peculiarities of mass media publications reflect all the changes taking place in the language. Quality press, one of the main representatives of which in the English-speaking countries is The New York Times, can show the best examples of publicistic genre, its strict norms and important means attracting the readers’ attention. Lexical and phraseological features represent the great potential of figurative representation of reality and supplying meaningful information in any language. That is why it is very actual today to trace the means of lexical and phraseological features translation from one language into another.
  In spite of the thorough study of lexical and phraseological layer of the English language and its representation in mass media publications, this problem is still urgent today. More over, The New York Times texts have not been investigated in this aspect till nowadays. Consequently, the topicality of the present research consists in the insufficient study of lexical and phraseological features of The New York Times publications and absence of detailed description of their translation into the Russian language.
  The object of the present research is mass media language.
  The subjects of the work are lexical and phraseological features of mass media on the example of quality press The New York Times.

  Chapter One. Mass Media Texts in Close-up
  1.1 The Typology of Mass Media Publications
  
  Linguistic research of mass media publications is a relatively new direction which combines both pure linguistic and social characterization of mass media texts. By investigating of the typology of mass media publications we should understand the cognitive characteristics of the sender (in other words, the ideological orientation of a text), characteristics of the target recipients for which this media text is directed, and information laid down in the media text.
  The notion of mass media is very close to the notion of mass communication. Consequently, it is important to combine these two definitions.
  Mass communication is “any form of communication transmitted through a medium (channel) that simultaneously reaches a large number of people” [49, p. 2].
  According to the given definitions of the notion “mass communication” we can say that mass media is often defined as just a channel that carry mass communication. But in the past several years the situation of mass media functioning changed greatly. Consequently, this type of definition is considered to be archaic.
  In order to fully understand the notion of mass media in linguistic aspect, it is important to cite definitions of this notion given in the English language dictionaries.
  In The Merriam-Webster Dictionary mass media is defined through its main function – “to reach the mass of the people” [62].
  Definition of Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners identifies mass media with its channels: “newspapers, television, radio etc. that communicate news and information to large numbers of people” [60].
