The aim of this study is to characterize the structures and terminology used in a corpus of tennis narratives. To achieve this, we constituted a corpus of three television narratives of tennis. Based on studies on sports discourse, we identify the terminology and syntactic structures that characterize the tennis discourse in the television narratives of our corpus. Once we identified the structures, we determine their configuration in order to identify certain syntactic patterns in the discourse of this sports discipline and contrast these patterns with those used in other sports narratives. With this article, we intend to contribute to research focused on sports discourse, in particular studies centred on the syntax of television narratives of tennis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main characters of the latest series almost always have a feature that is far from the classical virtuosity, an element of strangeness, often asocial. This article aims to show that in the U.S. television drama of the last ten years the hero progressively acquires new features that not allow the normal interaction with the world around him. The characteristics of this type of character, away from traditional narrative standards are diverse, but all of them are typical of the known as freak. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
