Abstract

The article presents a linguistic analysis of the German vocabulary. We will deal with the lexis and collocations that are related to football. The reason is that football is the most popular sport in Germany today. Football catches the interest not only of German viewers, but also foreign viewers. In the Bundesliga or other leagues in Germany there are also foreign players who need to learn football terms as a foreign language. The German language has a system of combinatorial rules in lexicons that is specific and idiosyncratic. Therefore, collocations are structured differently from other language varieties. The aim of the article is to create a collocation glossary that optimally covers the lexis and collocations of this subject area.
