Noms composés et autres phrasèmes : fonctionnement discursif dans le domaine spécialisé du sport

This paper focuses on the study of compound words and phrasemes in French and Spanish in the field of sport. The studies carried out in this field tend to fall within the field of specific sports practices, such as football. But the world of sport is concerned with other disciplines (team, individual, group sports) where new terms are asserted in turn. Our analysis was carried out from a lexical point of view, following the principles of Explanatory and Combinatory Lexicology (Mel’čuk et al., Introduction), and from a parallel French-Spanish corpus. It comes from sports magazines and covers several disciplines and areas such as nutrition, health and training exercises. We analyse the most representative compounds and phrasemes, and provide the paraphrases with which they are associated, and which appear in the magazines. The result of this analysis reveals the limit between compounds and phrasemes.
