Emocionalita a expresivita, kritika a hodnocení v on-line sportovních přenosech a v reakcích fanoušků
Emotionality and expressivity, critique and evaluation in live text sports commentary and fan reactions

Summary/Abstract: Emotions are an indelible part of both doing sport and watching sports events. The expression of them is one factor enabling the communicative sphere to fulfil its societal entertainment function. The research for the present paper is based on data from live sports commentaries and the accompanying Internet-based fans’ discussions, with the aim of indicating certain distinctions. Expressions of emotion differ between commentators and fans, and also depend on the relationship between these subjects, individual types of sporting events (national teams, club teams, the Olympics, World and European Championships, football Masters’ League or the European League, the tennis Fed Cup or Grand Slam tournaments, domestic football and hockey leagues), as well as critical situations (scoring or missing a goal, the final scores of the events, losing or winning matches). Significant features of electronic communication also contribute to the expression of emotions, with the varying profiles of individual Internet forums playing a role here, too. This high-profile emotionality leads to the use of both evaluative (positive and negative) and expressive means (including vulgarisms), not only linguistic, but also non-verbal ones
