COMMUNICATION FEATURES OF SPORTS DISCOURSE
Abstract
The article characterizes accuracy, imagery, and expressiveness as communication features of sports discourse. The sources of the material are Ukrainian TV channels, sports websites, and blogs. It is stated that the functional potential of linguistic means in sports communication is determined by the specific, pragmatic orientation of each situation during sports competitions or during sports programmes with competition analysis. Linguistic constructions are produced primarily to reproduce the objects and concepts of sports and to influence the emotional sphere of the spectator-fan.
