Sport in the media. A linguist’s perspective

Iwona Loewe Logo ORCID

Abstract

In this article the texts of television commentaries from sports events are analysed. Sports competition is only a pretext and pre­text for a linguist. However, these two elements are semantically and chronologically related. The competition must appear first, so that the commentary can be created – a reportage, an interview with a sportsman or an informative description. A linguist is interested in a number of questions; which genre does the media presenter use to describe the sports event in his medium, what is characteristic for these models, what is characteristic for a presenter himself and his discursive perspective? The author of the article consolidates the knowledge gained in the past and uses the tools of textology, genology and discourse analysis in her research on the subject.
