A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH: SOME THOUGHTS ON THE LANGUAGE OF SPORT

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to offer some thoughts on the language of sport, particularly as it is constructed on the basis of three metaphorical conventions—namely, the conventions of violence, sex, and the machine. Although noting the masculinist perspective that these metaphors represent, the article ultimately argues that these linguistic preferences reveal important ontological insights that transcend both gender and sport itself.
