Abstract


The subject matter of the paper is the lexical selection between Anglicisms and their Serbian equivalents in Serbian sports terminology. The paper aims to determine the current tendencies in the use of synonymous sports terms on a sample of students of sport and physical education. The measuring instrument was an online questionnaire, completed by 117 respondents. It consisted of 60 sets of sports terms, one Anglicism and one or two of its Serbian equivalents. The data were analyzed qualitatively, but the frequencies of use of the select terms were presented in percents. Working within the set hypotheses, and based on the morpho-syntactic structure of the Anglicisms, the number of lexemes of the Serbian equivalents, and the morpho-syntactic structure of the syntagms, it was determined that the morphologically simpler Anglicisms are more often selected as sports terms (for example golSER. – goalENG., servisSER. – serveENG., slajsSER. – sliceENG., sparingSER. – sparringENG., faulSER. – foulENG.), while those with a more complex structure were selected less frequently than polylexemic Serbian equivalents, often containing postmodification (igrač sa osnovne linijeSER. –baselinerENG., korak sa prednožnim pogrčenjemSER. – knee liftENG., trka sa preponamaSER. – steeplechaseENG., udarac kroz nogeSER. – tweenerENG., utrčavanje uz čeonu linijuSER. – baseline cutENG.).  The results of this study do not only have lexicographic implications. They are also relevant for the field of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), in terms of assessing the preferences of Serbian students of sport and physical education for either Anglicisms or their equivalents, thus indicating the current trends in the field of Serbian sports terminology as well. In addition, the results can also influence General English (GE) language classes meant specifically for students of sport and physical education, as well as the sports terminology used in everyday teaching practices at various faculties of sport and physical education.
