| Summary: | The paper deals with the professional linguistic identity of the football commentator. The structure of the language personality has been described in detail, including verbal-semantic, cognitive, and pragmatic components. Within each of the components, we have distinguished a number of language-specific features, the special character of which is also affected by the speaker’s professional activities.
The linguistic analysis of the professional linguistic identity of the sports commentator makes it possible to conclude that the verbal and semantic level consists of such lexical means as sports (general and professional) vocabulary, colloquial vocabulary, and such grammatical means as the present simple tense, elliptical and emphatic constructions, adverbial absolute constructions; cognitive – used in the sports discourse metaphoric model of “sport is war” with the corresponding slots, metonymic transfer associated with the use of proper names (the name of the country represents the team from that country); motivational – the use of evaluative vocabulary serving to express emotions and create a certain mood among the audience.
A detailed analysis of each of the elements of the structure allowed to construct a model of the professional linguistic identity of the football commentator M. Law. The results obtained contribute to the development of research in the field of linguopersonology and language theory in general.
