If people learn the lexical features of EEN, it will benefit their deeper understanding and study of EEN. This paper aims to explore the lexical features of EEN through analyzing specific examples of EEN from The Essence of English Newspapers (Part I) and Corpus of Contemporary American English (hereafter COCA). It is found that EEN has its own unique lexical types and lexical expressions. From the perspective of lexical types, there is an extensive use of abbreviation, neologism, loanwords and metonymy in EEN which makes its lexical types more colorful. From the perspective of lexical expressions, there are three outstanding features of EEN, namely, vividness, modality and fuzziness which makes its lexical expressions more authentic, fresh, interesting, readable and timely. This research will contribute to the deeper understanding of the lexical features of EEN, accurate comprehension of its content and significance.
