Sport as a subsystem of almost any society, physical education as a fundamental educational approach, and sport science as a rapidly developing academic discipline represent a threefold phenomenon which is well known, broadly discussed, and highly relevant in today's world.
  • Today, the English language has gained a unique importance as a world language and the major tool for communication avenues across the world. The world of science also relies predominantly on the English language for communication within the international academic community.
  • The terms included in the dictionary relate to theory and practice of movement, play and sport. Therefore sport, physical education and sport science are the main content areas of this dictionary.
  • The selection of approximately 2,000 terms is based on a frequency analysis of the terms used in sport, physical education and sport science in order to ensure that the terms with the highest relevance and most frequent usage are included in the dictionary.
  • Proven strategies for developing a thesaurus have been used in order to present a well-balanced concept of a dictionary.
  • The dictionary contains relation terms; this means that terms described in detail in the dictionary are sometimes also related to other terms of the dictionary which give relevant information. Furthermore, references to specific related terms are also included at the end of descriptions.
  • The dictionary provides the translation of all terms (not the full text) in French, German and Spanish in an appendix. These terms are listed in the alphabetical order of the respective language (French, German, Spanish) with the English translation next to it. Thus, the corresponding English term can be looked up easily in the dictionary with the full English description of the term, listed according to the English alphabet in the dictionary.
  • In a separate media format (CD ROM), the translation of all terms (not the full text) is provided in the following additional languages: Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Persian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Turkish based on the same strategy as for French, German and Spanish within the dictionary. By including these additional 9 languages, this dictionary can be used on a worldwide basis. Thus, it will help to further develop sport as a social subsystem, physical education as a process, and sport science as an academic discipline on an international level.
This dictionary may contribute to a better overall understanding across the world as it relates to sport, physical education and sport science in the age of internationalization and globalization.
