Covering a wide range of sports, including football, cycling and basketball, the linguistic aspects of sports language are analysed across different genres and contexts. Highlighting the importance of studying the language of sports alongside its accompanying audio-visual modes of communication, chapters draw on new digitised collections of language to fully describe and understand the complexities of communication through various channels. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eCorpus Approaches to the Language of Sports\u003c\/i\u003e not only offers exciting new insights into the language of sports but also extends the scope of corpus linguistics beyond traditional monomodal approaches to put multimodality firmly on the agenda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Callies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135008820X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350088207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Marcus Callies","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057405128959,"sku":"9781350088207","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4536d9e-7723-4dbb-a020-e175c61fadbd.jpg?v=1685046783","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/corpus-approaches-to-the-language-marcus-callies-9781350088207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
