To attain these objectives, Chomsky's (1995) the Minimalist Program (MP) is employed using X-Bar principles and processes. In addition, Catford's notion on Translation Shift (1965) is used. The research corpus is a raw data consists of 20 French written political news texts and their English correspondences which are collected from France 24 channel website.
