Abstract

This article provides a detailed analysis of the commentary performance of Wang Meng, a versatile sports commentator, during the Beijing Winter Olympics. The analysis focuses on the linguistic characteristics, content features, and stylistic elements of Wang Meng’s commentary, and draw the following conclusions: Firstly, her language expression is simple, colloquial, with strong randomness, with the pronunciation and intonation of northeast dialect; Secondly, in the terms of content selection, she will consider news, bias, professionalism and interest and adopt the combination of "commentator" + "guest". And it eventually leads to a discussion of the use of improvised language and emotional expression in sports commentary, which serves as a basis for exploring the use of impromptu language and emotional expression in sports commentary.
