Abstract

The present paper touches upon the ways of teaching English sport vocabulary taking into consideration the content characteristics of English sport discourse. The terms “sport discourse” and “concept” are defined in the paper. The concept cricket is considered in the context of English linguoculture. The application of the conceptual approach makes it possible to analyze the nucleus of the concept cricket, the expressions used in near/distant associative fields, as well as the phraseological units irrespective of the fact of their being terms or term-realias.
