Terminology in the Aspect of Human Experience Decoding (on the Material of English-Language Sports Texts)

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present a mechanism of decoding human experience verbalized in sports terminology, which forms a fragment of the professional community’s special worldview. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it provides a comprehensive cognitive analysis of the structural organization of the semantic material contained in the frame of a terminological unit related to the sports field. The authors have developed a model of the sports terminological unit frame. As a result of the study, it has been shown that the term ‘frame’ is a specific cognitive scheme of organizing knowledge about the surrounding reality which might be used to represent the decoding of a sports term meaning.
