Abstract

Sport has always been very important for the proper development of every nation. We can fairly say that sport is a true source of multiculturalism, as it unites different people from various countries in the global society. Everyone finds pleasure both in participating in sports events and watching them. Sport reduces stress and is particularly important for the proper development of adolescents, as it strengthens their self-confidence and maintains their health and physical fitness. The language of sports is rich and includes various terms and expressions that are mainly internationally known and accepted without translation in almost every country of the modern world. The article research concerns different categories of words and their formation, as well as specific idioms and phrases that are found in particular sports.
