English vocabulary of Czech professional sportsman playing abroad
MENDEL, Dušan
The aim of this bachelor thesis refers to the English vocabulary of Czech professional sportsmen playing abroad. The main goal is to chart the vocabulary of the English-speaking football and hockey commentators and professional sportsmen. The attention is paid to Czech professional football and hockey players who played abroad and their experience with the sports slang. I discuss questions related to the English language with eight sportsmen from the Czech Republic who spent some time in their careers abroad. In the theoretical part, I mention the position of the English language in the World, current English vocabulary, and the topic of a professional sport and language. The work will also include sports slang, football and hockey terminology, and a comparison of Czech and English sports speech. In the practical part, I focus on the vocabulary of football and hockey commentators and sportsmen which I figure out with a help of the video records. Through interviews with selected Czech professional athletes, I find out how football and hockey players communicated in foreign clubs or how big a foreign language was an obstacle for them. I also try to form a table with them, which answers the question of whether athletes understand basic football and hockey terminology.
