Abstract

The article examines the problems of the functioning of sports discourse formats in correlation with the professional terms of the sports world. The analysis of factual data is based on the linguosemiotic approach to its interpretation typically in the form of a discourse statement, as well as at the level of the nominative fund of the national language. Sports terminology is considered at the level of general linguistic and ethnocultural dominants. The emphasis on the national-cultural component of the lexemes of sports topics allows studying the sportonyms in terms of finding information about the national culture, discourse, and linguistic thinking in their semantics. The proposed hypothesis suggests that the structure of sports discourse is predominantly based on professional terminology, the semantics of which correlates with the ways of a nation’s language self-identification. The prospects for further research are found in the development of new synergetic cognitive-communicative approaches to the study of professional discourse and terminology.
