Through the last decades, football has become one of the most popular
sports all over the world. This status brings an immense responsibility upon
the live football commentators, who have to bare in mind many of the
linguistic and non-linguistic features that deal with this act of football
commentating. Therefore, this study lays its focus on those aspects that seem
relevant and distinctive to other oral speeches, with the attempt to prove that
live football commenting has so many different features that it would have to
be considered as an independent register. Apart from analysing football
commentary as a whole, this study also tries to make a distinction between
two of the most popular mediums since decades, radio and television. This
practical study consists of the analysis of all the distinctive elements that
have been encountered in a Premier League game between Chelsea and
Middlesbrough in the year 2017. The same game has been analysed through
the most popular British group of sport channels “Sky Sports”, as well as by
the British radio chain “BBC”, allowing us to analyse and make
comparisons of the act of English live football commentary, reaching to the
conclusion that indeed, it can be considered as a specific and independent
register. [-]
