Analysis of the language of sport-related research

The aim of this research was to analyse the language of sport-related research. The sample was comprised of 319 cases and included the titles of articles published in academic journals, titles of articles published in conference proceedings or titles of presentations (abstracts) delivered at conferences, and titles of books or parts/sections in books. The titles were analysed in terms of the publication year, the topic they covered and the type of source from which they were collected. The time span covered ranged from 1952 to 2020. In most publication years articles published in academic journals were the predominant source in which the language of sport-related research was delivered. Discourse and terminology were the primary foci of research into the language of sport. Further, discourse was the primary focus of research published in two source categories – academic journal articles and books or parts/sections of books, whereas terminology was the most frequent subject matter of research presented at conferences. The results have shown an overall increase in the incidence of research output over the span of the publication years covered.
