“…The high share of synonyms in English is predominantly due to changed conceptualization and clipping. In accordance with previous analyses of sports terminology (Milić 2015a;Milić & Kardoš 2016;Milić, Panić & Kardoš 2017), these units are predominantly transferred from English into Serbian, even though they are not necessarily correspondent in terms of sense acquisition processes. Focusing on Serbian, the findings indicate that there is an additional source of the proliferation of variant terms due to parallel adaptation through transshaping 3 and translation, e.g., christie > KRISTIJANIJA, PLUG.…”

Growing popularity of recreational skiing and snowboarding in this region has directed this corpus-based study towards getting an insight into standardization requirements of the ski register in Serbian within the framework of today’s angloglobalized world of sport. The corpus consists of 292 ski terms in English and Serbian. After a brief overview of the creation of ski terms, the paper deals with a contrastive analysis of the corpus from the aspect of adaptation of English terms into the system of Serbian at the level of form, i.e. respelling and at the level of content, i.e. translation. Guided by the results of this analysis, the following sections deal with the requirements related to the standardization of ski terms in Serbian.

“…Focusing on the progress in learning standardization, the findings of a comparative analysis of the Initial and Final questionnaires indicate improvement in all six principles, amounting to 16.53% on average. Additionally, the fact that the highest scores in the Final questionnaire were achieved regarding the principles of bi-univocity (51.76%) and productivity (77.11%) is encouraging, since these principles reflect higher-order linguistic and technical aspects of standardization in the model of Milić (2006;2015a).…”

“…Prćić 2011: Chapters 11 and 12; Milić 2015a; Silaški 2012). Faced with this overwhelming preference of views regarding the high communicative potential of borrowed English terms, a considerable effort has been devoted to the standardization of specialized registers, the most important examples being related to the fields of computers (Prćić 1996), economics (Silaški 2012), medicine (Mićić and Sinadinović 2013), and sport (Milić 2015a). However, in order to foster knowledge of the standardization requirements related to English-Serbian language contact, the latest research findings suggest the need for building CLC through the educational system, as part of the normal curriculum, which is the practical component of building CLC.…”

This paper reports on the effectiveness of a new teaching method employing dictionaries as an aid for teaching the standardization of English-based sports terms in Serbian. The research was conducted among the students of a sports faculty in 2017 by means of a questionnaire distributed to the students both at the beginning of the second half of an ESP course and again at its end. Its aim was to measure the students' progress related to the acquisition of standardized sports terms in Serbian as an indicator of the effectiveness of the new teaching method. The findings generally indicate a certain degree of improvement of the students' knowledge of standardized sports terminology, though a less than satisfactory amount of progress regarding their linguistic competence. Even though the outcomes did not fully meet the goals set in advance, they do provide solid arguments for further efforts in developing and monitoring dictionary use in teaching the standardization of English-based sports terms in Serbian within the ESP curriculum and, even more importantly, for the systematic education of dictionary usage as part of the mother tongue curriculum.

“…Its aim is to show that the introduction of a new sport entails an urgent onomasiological need for vernacular terminology which, in effect, leads to the proliferation of new synonyms in the recipient language. Although Anglicisms and sports terminology have been explored before (see, for example, Benson, 1958;Balteiro, 2011;Ćirić-Duvnjak, 2013;Milić, 2013;Bergh & Ohlander, 2017;Kudla, 2018), the focus on synonymy in this connection is relatively rare. The study by Cocca et al (2016) of sports terminology synonyms concentrates on their typology rather than their generation.…”

Sports Terminology as a Source of Synonymy in Language: the Case of Czech

Modern sports and their terminologies in European and other languages have been strongly influenced by English. The reason is that some of the most popular sports originating in Anglophone countries have been exported to other countries together with established terminology. There are several possibilities of how to transfer terminology into recipient languages: to borrow and adapt original English terms, to use vernacular terms, or to do both. For the purposes of the study, 100 essential terms were selected for three different Anglophone sports, association football, tennis and golf, and all their Czech equivalents were gathered using available sources. It was assumed that a typical development involves the adoption of an Anglicism which is subsequently either replaced or supplemented by a vernacular term or terms. It was found that the 300 English terms are matched by the total of 540 equivalents. Thus, the results confirm the Anglicism-to-vernacular shift as a potent source of synonyms, though other intervening factors such as the length of time since the introduction of the sport, the general and social media popularity and accessibility of the sport for the general public play an important part and explain alternative patterns.
