Abstract:

The main aim of the paper is to provide information about the design and some of the results of research carried out into communication between a Slovak-speaking coach and players of older school age practising team ball games (football, handball, volleyball) within two basic genres: training dialogue and game dialogue. Methodologically, the research is based on the concept of the sport communication register as macro-social and the coach communication register as micro-social. The paper provides information about the research procedures and the basic socio-pragmatics features of the coach communication register: the types and way of expressing communication functions, the types and use of gestures, the way of addressing the players and refering to them, and the use of the means of the varieties of contemporary Slovak language.
