On-line sportovní přenosy jako hybridní žánr
On-line sports reporting as a hybrid genre

Summary/Abstract: On-line sports reporting (also known as live text commentary or minute-by-minute match report) is a relatively new genre of computer-mediated communication – a hybrid genre which combines a chronologically structured narrative or description (capturing the events of the sporting match minute-by-minute) with the commentator’s evaluative formulations (evaluations which are often expressive, subjective, funny and humorous) as well as his implicit contact with the audience (fictitious dialogue). It thus fulfills both the informative function (providing factual information) and the entertainment one (as typical infotainment). This article focuses on Czech on-line sports reporting, mainly from soccer, hockey and tennis matches.
