4. Conclusions and Implications
The author has elaborated the prevalent phenomenon of “dirty talks” and the covert essence of these trash words in
sports games. By listing authentic examples in the sports games given in the article, it is proposed that we can utilise
Speech-act Theory as a means of analysing the “hidden secrete” behind “dirty talks” of sports games. The utterance,
the very act, the effects and consequences of “dirty talks”, i.e. the so-called “locutionary act”, “illocutionary act” and
“perlocutionary act” in Speech-act Theory have great influence on sports game, not only on the game participants
themselves, but also may determine the final victory or failure of the entire game and escalate to a more intense
turmoil after the game. Because dirty talks have become an integrate and indispensible part of the competitive sports
games and exert great negative impact on the athletes, the author suggests that it is imperative for sports coaches,
managers and mass media to educate the players to raise awareness of sports civilization and courtesy. Or at least,
team coaches and managers should stand against dirty talks and no longer use it as a humiliating and disgraceful
strategy to help their team to win the game. In order to purify sports atmosphere, the author proposes that on the one
hand, athletes must consciously avoid initiating dirty talks in the game and on the other hand, they must know how to
correctly look at and respond to dirty talks. The wise player will regard it as a sheer uncivilized behavior out of rage,
anger, disappointment or in some cases been used as a strategy by some immoral players to deliberately disturb and
distract their rivals from the game and disorder their performances as a consequence. In this sense, this article is
written for the athletes to understand better about the essence of dirty talks, in order for them to be more likely to
ignore dirty talks and won’t affect their performances when such nonsense is unexpectedly uttered by the rival.
Therefore, if the player won’t take dirty talks seriously, he/she will not be the poor victim. As long as the players
understand the essence of “dirty talks” which have been elaborated in the article, it is believed that the victim player
who suffered the dirty talks in the sports game will take it easy and let it go quickly without affecting their mood or
the ensuing play. After knowing the root cause and covert secret of “dirty talks” in sports, we believe that the players
can even give a disdainful laugh at it when their rivals speak out some “dirty talks”, no matter inadvertently or
intentionally. Let the trash talkers reap their own bitter fruits and ruin their own game by the complaints of their dirty
talks, the victory always belongs to the one who practises harder and has more advantages than their rivals in sport
itself rather than the one who can make more trash words.
