Sport e lessicografia nella Repubblica popolare cinese : analisi di un corpus di dizionari cinesi dedicati al lessico sportivo

This paper presents a preliminary research on Chinese sport lexicography, analysing the general trends and typological features of a corpus of Chinese specialised sport dictionaries, selected by conducting bibliographic searches on the online catalogue of the National Library of China. The data is also analysed with reference to the context in which the dictionaries were compiled, attempting to investigate the relationship between the political and ideological significance of sport and the production of sport dictionaries in the PRC.
