THE LANGUAGE OF FOOTBALL: A Comparative Study of English, Arabic, and Chinese Commentary presents a comprehensive comparative examination of football commentary and media discourse across three major linguistic and cultural traditions. Drawing on linguistics, discourse analysis, media studies, communication theory, and sports studies, the book explores how football is transformed from a sporting event into a culturally meaningful narrative through language. It analyzes the distinctive linguistic, rhetorical, and pragmatic features of English, Arabic, and Chinese football commentary, highlighting differences in metaphor, emotion, nationalism, identity construction, and audience engagement.
