Jazyk mediálneho športu ako bojisko
The language of media sport as a battleground

Summary/Abstract: The study deals with the character of the language of sport according to its battle character. The sports communication is in this case supplemented by words from military, often in the form of metaphors, metonyms and phrases. The military register in the structure of commentary from football, is primarily used to define the parties involved in the struggle, which are in contrast. The basic words that support the explanation of a sporting event as a fight can be considered those that reflect the goals, layout and player functions. In the case of football commentary seems to appear five basic spheres explained by the military words. These are words expressing dynamics in the space (formation, attack, field, etc.), physical contact between the players (attack, stretch, etc.), movement of the ball (the ball is understood as a projectile), the setting of goals (to the result through the current tactically influenced situation) and words expressing support during the game (to supply, secure, ply, substitute, etc.).
