The article characterizes accuracy, imagery, and expressiveness as communication
features of sports discourse. The sources of the material are Ukrainian TV channels, sports
websites, and blogs. It is stated that the functional potential of linguistic means in sports
communication is determined by the specific, pragmatic orientation of each situation during
sports competitions or during sports programmes with competition analysis. Linguistic
constructions are produced primarily to reproduce the objects and concepts of sports and to
influence the emotional sphere of the spectator-fan.
