ABSTRACT Various forms of multimodal fan communication, e.g. choreographies, chants, and banners, have been understudied in linguistic research on the language and linguistics of football to date. In particular, banners have received almost no attention despite the fact that they are one of the most visible and attention-getting forms of direct fan communication in the stadium. Fan banners are often used to visually express protest through rather unconventional and creative linguistic forms of provocation. The massive commercialization and marketization of football has been subject to fundamental criticism that has caused conflicts and tensions in which defiant fan subcultures protest the unwanted modernization and sell-out of the game. In this paper I apply a netnographic approach and analyse the linguistic-semiotic characteristics and (meta-)pragmatic functions of protest banners displayed in stadia across Germany in early 2020. The findings suggest that meaning-making through fan banners and the de-coding of that meaning necessitates an understanding of the interplay of materiality, colour, text, imagery and sometimes temporality.

ABSTRACT There is a growing research interest in the effects of social distancing measures introduced to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on social interaction, interpersonal relationships, and personal wellbeing. In the soccer arena, too, players, referees, managers, and fans are subject to social distancing measures when engaging in joint activities in times of the pandemic. This paper examines to what extent agents on the soccer pitch have adapted joint communicative acts such as goal celebrations and surrounding the referee as part of social distancing measures. It does so by focusing particularly on interactions between player-player (goal celebrations) and player-referee (issuing of yellow/red cards) in broadcasted Premier League games pre- and post-lockdown during the 2019/20 season by examining and comparing two datasets: games in the last round before the three-month lockdown break (round 29, 10 games, 7–9 March 2020) and the games in the first round after the restart of season 2019/20 with the implemented social distancing rules as prescribed by the Premier League’s Season 2019/20Restart Guide (round 30, 10 games, 19–22 June 2020). Based on an exploratory, qualitative multimodal analysis of a total of 43 goal celebrations and the issuing of 66 yellow cards and one red card in the two datasets, we highlight varying realizations of similar joint communicative acts, thereby demonstrating how agents on the pitch adapt their interaction to social distancing rules. The results show players’ occasional hesitation to gather closely with other players to celebrate a goal and their deviation to more common practices of engaging with others during times of COVID-19, for example fist bumps. Adaptation of interaction can also be observed with regard to player-referee interactions following a booking, most notably concerning surrounding the referee in contested decisions: While players still move towards the referee seemingly crowding the referee, there is, in some scenes, a visible restraint by players to ensure enough distancing between the players and the referee.

ABSTRACT Football is of global socio-cultural and economic significance. Though it has changed considerably regarding the participation and representation of women, it is (still) built on condensed traits of hegemonic masculinity, gendered norms, and expectations. At the same time, football entails great emancipatory and empowering opportunities and thus offers itself as an empirical laboratory for gender research and as a blueprint for sustainable transformation in other (similarly) gendered societal domains. This contribution shows how existing gender inequalities in (Austrian) female football might be explored and transformed by means of inter- and transdisciplinary research. It details the scope, goals, and research design of such a project in the context of GOAL (Gender [In]Equality in Football: Developing Opportunities through Assessment and Leadership Transformation), an envisioned, prospective cooperation between linguistics, anthropology, sports pedagogy, and economic sciences with various practice partners. A special focus will be on the role and potentials of qualitative linguistic discourse analysis in exploring causes and characteristics of gender inequality in (female) football as experienced, practiced, represented, and reproduced, but also challenged by social actors on and off the field. First findings from the related, (purely) linguistic research project More than a Game will be utilized to further illustrate this point.
足球具有全球性的社会文化和经济意义。尽管在女性的参与和代表方面已经发生了很大的变化,但它(仍然)建立在男性霸权、性别规范和期望的浓缩特征之上。与此同时,足球带来了巨大的解放和赋权机会,因此成为性别研究的经验实验室,并为其他(类似)性别社会领域的可持续转型提供了蓝图。这一贡献展示了如何通过跨学科和跨学科的研究来探索和改变(奥地利)女子足球中存在的性别不平等。它详细介绍了在GOAL(足球中的性别平等:通过评估和领导力转型发展机会)的背景下,这样一个项目的范围、目标和研究设计。GOAL是语言学、人类学、体育教育学和经济科学与各种实践伙伴之间的预期合作。一个特别的重点将放在定性语言话语分析的作用和潜力,探索(女性)足球中性别不平等的原因和特征,作为经验,实践,代表和再现,但也受到社会行动者在场上和场下的挑战。首先,我们将利用来自相关(纯粹)语言学研究项目More than a Game的发现来进一步说明这一点。

ABSTRACT English is no doubt the language of soccer. At the same time, many countries have over the past century introduced heritage alternatives for English soccer terminology. This paper aims to better understand the resulting choices that need to be made between sports terminology borrowed from English (e.g. keeper) and heritage alternatives (e.g. Dutch doelman). Two studies on Belgian Dutch mass media soccer reporting are presented. Study 1 charts the frequencies of English words and heritage alternatives for 20 soccer concepts in three genres for 38 journalists, revealing a highly variable presence of English. Study 2 reports on a thematic analysis of semi-structured expert interviews asking three journalists to reflect on the position of English terminology in (their own) reporting. Though study 1 reveals a dispersed pattern, the interviewees in study 2 report they do not see a need for more uniform practices or top-down language policies. At the same time, they believe that commentators, pundits, and journalists should adapt usage patterns. Overall, the results of our innovative mixed-methods approach allow us to better understand how the language of soccer has been and is being shaped through the interaction of the individual and the collective, the local and the global.

ABSTRACT Bakery Jatta migrated from The Gambia to Germany during the so-called ‘refugee crisis’. Today, he is a professional soccer player and plays for Hamburger SV. His story has been widely reported in mass media. This article explores the question ‘How did German newspapers report on Bakery Jatta?’ based on a discourse analysis of a catalogue of 270 German newspaper articles published between 2016 and 2019. The articles included in the catalogue cover five major topics: Jatta’s performance; his biography; contract and transfer; legal issues, and expressions of solidarity for or of hostility towards him. The media reporting spanned three phases, which saw Bakery Jatta’s media portrayal mutate from hero to anti-hero. Bild served as the forerunner in this transformation, with the other newspapers following the tabloid’s lead. The reporting on Bakery Jatta exemplifies, echoes and connects different discourses on the ‘refugee crisis’ and on soccer’s integrative power.

ABSTRACT The study examined the factors that influence fan bond creation with a football club on social media. The aim of this work is to show what football fans are guided by when deciding to observe a given club on social media and thus create bonds with it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of information acquisition, entertainment, pass time, fanship, and social interaction on creating a bond between fan and football club in social media. The study tested six hypotheses, all supported by the results. The partial least square method of structural equation modelling is employed to test the proposed research model. The study utilizes an online survey to obtain data from 202 Polish football fans. Results showed that the best predictor of creating a bond with a club is social interaction, followed by entertainment and information acquisition.

ABSTRACTThe aim of the paper is to understand how young generations consider women playing football since women’s football still struggles to reach and gain consistent fan followings. Women’s football stakeholders are in need to inspire viewers and spectators in order to improve the visibility and commercialization of the game. A survey was administered and distributed to 2,298 participants belonging to both Millennials and Generation Z cohorts. Predictors of interest in women’s football were tested based on such information and a cluster analysis was conducted to group participants based on common characteristics and views on women’s football. Results show that there is a connection among past or current sport playing experience, general interest in sports and positive attitude towards women in football. Generation Z and Young Millennials are more favourable towards women in football and find it normal. However, there are still some people who disapprove this sport. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1.

ABSTRACTBased on online surveys and MANCOVA, this study explores soccer video games as a potential channel for promoting well-being and soccer appreciation by testing how playing soccer (1) via video games, (2) physically, (3) in both forms, or (4) in none of the forms are associated with soccer appreciation (enjoyment/involvement), physical health (moderate-/vigorous-intensity activity, sedentary behaviour), and mental health (happiness, life satisfaction, self-esteem). The findings indicated that soccer video games (1) are positively associated with mental health, particularly in the hedonic aspect; (2) are insignificantly linked to physical health; and (3) may be effective for increasing enjoyment (at a level similar to physical play) and involvement of the sport. Also, (4) the synergistic effect of blending the virtual and physical forms of play were supported for soccer enjoyment/involvement.

The findings indicated that soccer video games (1) are positively associated with mental health, particularly in the hedonic aspect; (2) are insignificantly linked to physical health; and (3) may be effective for increasing enjoyment (at a level similar to physical play) and involvement of the sport. Also, (4) the synergistic effect of blending the virtual and physical forms of play were supported for soccer enjoyment/involvement.

SkySports pundit Gary Neville for the season to be scrapped, Liverpool lifted their first Premier League title in 2020, albeit at an empty Anfield. The book is highly accessible and enjoyable to read, made more so by Williams’ humour and insider knowledge of the club’s culture and the locality, although supporters of other clubs will find it harder to digest than this reviewer, a fellow Liverpool FC fan. However, this is not to take anything away from what is a very important academic study which deserves the widest readership. At the time of writing, in January 2022, the team looks burnedout from last season’s exertions, while the failure to add greatly to their squad during this month’s transfer window means that Klopp must again work his magic (should he decide to stay on) if he is to again transform the squad into ‘mentality monsters’. FSG’s misjudgement over the proposed European Super League has also raised question marks over their future. The recent emergence of a more affluent Newcastle United and the apparent revival of Arsenal and Manchester United mean that the search for a twentieth league title will remain highly competitive.
