The monograph offers a comprehensive investigation based on the  material from contemporary English sports journal articles on recent sports events, interviews, reports, chronological and informative texts, etc. Within the frame of this research the linguostylistic analysis of sports language is carried out at different levels – morphological, lexical and syntactic. The monograph is yet another contribution to modern functional stylistics since it attempts to shed light on some of the intricate questions in ESP Theory that call for further clarification.

The book is designed for the students of the Department of European Languages and Communication, philologists, people actively engaged in sports – sportsmen, trainers and sports reporters, as well as for general readers. The key ideas advanced in the monograph can also be applied in special seminars and courses on sports at the Department of Journalism.
