Abstract:

Recent decades have seen a fundamental change and transformation in the
commercialisation and popularisation of sports and sporting events. "Corpus
Approaches to the Language of Sports" uses corpus resources to offer new
perspectives on the language and discourse of this increasingly popular and
culturally significant area of research.

Bringing together a range of empirical studies from leading scholars, this
book bridges the gap between quantitative corpus approaches and more
qualitative, multimodal discourse methods. Covering a wide range of sports,
including football, cycling and basketball, the linguistic aspects of sports
language are analysed across different genres and contexts. Highlighting the
importance of studying the language of sports alongside its accompanying
audio-visual modes of communication, chapters draw on new digitised
collections of language to fully describe and understand the complexities of
communication through various channels. In doing so, "Corpus Approaches to the
Language of Sports" not only offers exciting new insights into the language of
sports but also extends the scope of corpus linguistics beyond traditional
monomodal approaches to put multimodality firmly on the agenda.
