Syntactic features of football narration
Abstract
The aim of this study is to highlight the most significant syntactic features in a football narration corpus based on three football games played during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. In the corpus, we observed that participants of the narration display two main functions: lead journalist and specialist journalist, and two other secondary functions: the journalist on the pitch and the background commentator. We also examined the use of various tenses and moods, but predominantly the present tense in descriptive phase, and the present and past tenses in the comment phase. Finally, lexical anaphora are used when the game is relaxed and pronouns are used when the game is disputed.
