摘要：The use of English loanwords in mass media like newspapers is so prominent. The writers keep using the words even though their meaning changes. This study aims to investigate the meaning changes of the loanwords and their reasons for using in the headlines. There were sixty-seven English loanwords collected over thirty days. Close and open questionnaires were sent to the writers and the editors of Radar Kediri newspaper. Interviewing the editor was also done to triangulate the data. The results show that there are six categories of meaning changes in the headlines of Radar Kediri newspaper namely narrowing, widening, metaphor, synecdoche, degeneration, and elevation. In addition, there are six reasons for using English loanwords namely to be more effective in conveying a message, to be more global/common in use, to be more modern, to be more educated, to vary vocabulary in a sentence by using synonymy, and to avoid from monotony. This study can support the area of semantics, especially in meaning changes..
