Description
Summary:The aim of this research was to try to present, on the basis of titles of papers published in an academic journal, knowledge production in kinesiology. The sample consisted of 781 titles of papers published in the journal KinesiologijalKinesiology from 1971 to 2011. The list of lexical items used for this investigation to analyse, both diachronically and contextually, knowledge production connected with the science of human movement consisted of the following: structure, structural; movement, motion, motor, motor ability; activity, exercise, sport; change, transformation; influence, impact; and effect, effectiveness. The analysis has shown the listed lexical items to appear in a multitude of combinations and contexts, i.e. linear combinations of words, thus indicating their meaning and reflecting the body of research, which consequently shapes knowledge in the scientific discipline in question.Original Abstract: Cilj je ovoga istrazivanja bio pokusati prikazati stvaranje znanja u kineziologiji na temelju engleskih naslova radova objavljenih u akademskome casopisu. Uzorak se sastojao od 781 naslova clanaka objavljenih u casopisu Kineziologija/Kinesiology od 1971. do 2011.
