- Title
THE OFFICIAL DEVICE FOR ENRICHMENT OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE OF SPORT.

- Abstract
The article describes the language policy of standardization of new sports terminology by the French government and the French Academy. The government bodies in charge of proposing new sports terms are special standing committees at the ministerial level. The language policy of the French government is justified by the special status of French as an official language of the IOC, continual emergence of new sports practices and the necessity of drafting clear rules of different sports games. The official device for enrichment of French sports vocabulary remains an important initiative of the French government, which tries to respond proportionally to the social and cultural impact of different world sports on French culture and society.
