Keywords:
winter sports terminology, corpus linguistics, lexicography, semantic analysis, sports communication, terminography, metaphorical modelingAbstract
This article examines innovative lexicographic processes in the formation, development, and semantic evolution of winter sports terminology. Drawing on digital corpora, multilingual lexicographic sources, and comparative sports linguistics, the study analyzes how contemporary technological, cultural, and communicative factors shape the lexical-semantic structure of winter sports terms. The research identifies structural models of term formation, cross-linguistic variation, metaphor-based semantic expansion, and terminological convergence in international sports communication. The findings demonstrate that corpus-based approaches significantly enhance the accuracy, standardization, and descriptive potential of sports lexicography, providing new insights relevant to applied linguistics, terminology, and sports communication.
