Book Synopsis The Language of Sport by : Adrian Beard
Book excerpt: Looks at sport in its wider social context. Examines the way sport sells itself as an agent of social cohesion and is used to sell products. Explores how sporting texts construct ideas about gender and national identity. Uses examples from events as diverse as Wimbledon tennis, Euro '96 and the World Athletics Championships.
