This paper describes the process of reading comprehension as the reader's attempt to retrieve relevant information from the text for constructing a coherent logical complex referred to as the hortatory frame. The logical relation underlying the frame is generally known in ropositional logic as biconditional. Biconditional functioning as the structure of the hortatory frame is specified in such a way as to represent two incompatible courses of action, one of which is evaluated positively as a desirable course of action while the other negatively as an undesirable course of action. Thus specified, the hortatory frame urges the desirable course of action to be selected or the undesirable course of action to be avoided. By virtue of this evaluative function the hortatory frame is assumed to play an important role in the comprehension process of various types of text. In this paper news articles including the speech act verb warn in their headline or lead are analysed in terms of the hortatory frame.
