“…Thus, CL techniques can offer new perspectives for studying sport-specific language or the use of sport metaphors (Segrave, 2000; Shields & Bredemeier, 2011). As the works of Bubenhofer on language use in Alpinist publications demonstrate, CL techniques reveal the professionalization of sport journalism and changes in language use point also to changes in motivation of mountaineers (Bubenhofer & Schröter, 2012). Ultimately, CL approaches open new perspectives for doing comparative research, as CL provides cross-linguistic techniques (Taylor, 2014).…”

Based on the idea that the political success of the anti-doping movement might be reflected in an increasing moralization of media discourses, the article traces long-term trends in the German doping discourse. Thus, a unique text corpus covering the period between 1950 and 2009 is analyzed using a corpus linguistic (CL) approach. It is shown that attention for doping has heavily increased and that doping has been marked as a persistent and widespread problem subject to permanent efforts of mitigation. However, there is little evidence for more alarmist moralizations. While quantitative CL techniques proved useful for tracing long-term changes in language use, assessing the role of media within the political economy of the moral regulation of doping requires a more ambitious mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. Nevertheless, the use of CL by scholars of sport communication is recommended, as CL methods are able to process large amounts of digitized data and are quite flexible in theoretical terms.

“…Concerning the topics or genres of DL data, Lischinsky (2018: 63) critically remarked that so far there has been a focus on certain 'high flying' genres like news reporting, political speeches, etc., and called for a greater focus on 'underresearched content, both in terms of topics and text types' (Lischinsky 2018: 17). The present research pursues this goal by studying mountaineering, which has hitherto rarely been investigated in linguistics, with the exception of work by Bubenhofer and Scheurer (2014) and Bubenhofer and Schröter (2012). Mountaineering is a sport without an audience and thus relies heavily on communicative events that construct what constitutes a mountaineering event.…”

This paper explores novel ways in which Corpus Linguistics, Critical Discourse Studies (DHA -the discourse-historical approach), and Feminist Linguistics can be fruitfully combined and thus contribute to a new awareness and knowledge concerning language and gender in discourse. For the paper a large heritage corpus of texts on mountaineering (Alpenwort -Corpus of the Austrian Alpine Club Journal) is explored, which constitutes a type of discourse that has yet rarely been studied in the abovementioned fields. The corpus was used to analyse gendered nomination with the following questions in mind: What frequently occurring patterns and typical ways of producing gendered nomination can be observed? How are the binary categories 'female' and 'male' linguistically produced and reinforced in these texts? These questions are answered using standard corpus linguistic methods: for example, gendered key items are determined via historical keyness-analysis; the concept of c-collocates and the method UFA (Usage Fluctuation Analysis) are used to trace how the meaning of such key items develops over time. These procedures reveal salient patterns of gender referencing that are then interpreted with the background of the DHA framework and can thus contribute to the investigation of gender bias in sports/leisure discourse.
