Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at investigating the functional usage and the frequency of Germanisms in Croatian language. In order to reach this goal, we analyzed the news portal 24 sata in a three months span (from 1st December 2018 to 1st March 2019). We did a semantic analysis of the headlines and subtitles in the categories NEWS (World, Politics) and SHOW (Celebrities). We included a contrastive description of the meaning and meaning changes as well as speaker specific, regional and stylistic characteristics. Additionally we are concerned with the issue in which way and how historical and identity aspects lead to the sarcastic and ironic meaning of the Germanisms, that are expressive linguistic tools for newspaper headlines and subtitels.
