Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to describe the position of English as the international
language of sport in the twenty-first century and its impact on Serbian sports terminology. The
analysis is focused on the interactions between different socio-linguistic factors which led
sport and English to the present-day status of being global phenomena and which, eventually,
created English as the international language of sport which strongly influences Serbian sports
terminology. Besides, the paper elaborates on latest sports trends and their various current
linguistic consequences.
