This research is grounded on the use of the word انتحار/intihaar/ and استشهاد/istisyhaad/ in Al-Jazeera newspaper in order to express and describe the meaning of “death” in Arabic. Although both words have “death” as the meaning, both have different contexts and forms. Therefore, it is interesting to be studied semantically and pragmatically. This research applies qualitative method with descriptive approach. The data included in this study come from several news headlines from Al-Jazeera newspaper from 2013 until 2018.
