Abstract

The object of this paper was to show both the transfer of expressions from the general language of sport into the sports language and back into general language, and the transfer of expressions, which have their origin in the language of sport, into the general language. The corpus comprises 45 basic words (given in alphabetical order) and 67 accompanying idioms together with their meaning and examples. It can be seen that the expressions from the language of sport are used not only in general language but also in the language of economy.

Keywords
