'Call Doc Singh!': Textual structure and coherence in live text sports commentaries
Original language description
The article deals with coherence in the language of online sports reporting (also known as live text commentary), arguing that an understanding of this particular text type is closely related to the readers' awareness of the specific textual structure ofthe match commentary. For their coherence, the texts rely on the ability of the readers to interpret certain utterances by placing them correctly within the overall structural framework of the text. In order to make sense of such match reports, readersmust be aware that the commentary proceeds along two narrative layers - the primary layer of the game description and the secondary layer of interpersonal gossip. The latter layer may be unrelated to the sports game being reported and may develop severalparallel topic lines constituted by utterances threaded together by various cohesive ties.
