N2  - Sport reporting in the media presents a discursive field which not only reflects social gender differentiation, but which also strengthens these differences through the use of particular language and graphic styles. Using discourse theory, an analysis of 3000 sport reports and photographs from 4 national West German newspapers showed that the press functioned as an normalizing agent in the discourse of sport, which, amongst other things, legitimes the marginal position of women in sport by invoking the apparently natural differences between the sexes. Other discursive strategies besides exclusion of women from reports include numerous mechanisms restricting the crossing of group boundaries, e.g. trivialising women's sports, making them into "non-sport", or use of irony. These could be interpreted as a means of controlling or a reactive strategy to the discourse of emancipation.   Verf.-Referat
