Nazewnictwo zajęć fitnessowych (źródła i mechanizmy produktywności)
Names of fitness classes (productivity sources and mechanisms)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to characterize the linguistic mechanisms that affect the currently observed dynamic expansion of the set of fitness class names. It has been proved in the course of the conducted analyses that it is underlain by three processes related to the selection of lexical components in terms of origin, segmentation and semantics of forms. Their operation is motivated by extra-linguistic factors, namely the need to distinguish a training in one fitness club from a training in a competitive club. Hence, it has been proved that commercialization – as a factor that that had never been allowed for in the studies of the language of sport – inspires changes on the linguistic plane.
