This dissertation presents the newer i. e. recent cycling lexicon and identifies its properties. It considers the area of sport, specifically cycling, which is rapidly developing and enforcing its own expressions, which differ from the general lexicon in structure and origin. The work attempts to find and confirm the connection between word formation and text formation stylistics by comparing the cycling lexicon from a variety of text types. The foundation for the research is the assumption that such a connection between them exists and significantly affects the language of each text type. Four types of text are presented - a manual, a popular scientific textbook, a journal and a newspaper. The analysis of recent cycling lexicon from these texts can demonstrate the current trends in Slovene word formation, semantic change and foreign languages influence. The link between word formation and text formation stylistics is not only limited to the field of sport; it is typical for all types of texts regardless of the subject matter. Therefore, the thesis offers an important insight into the often overlooked area of language - the connection between the lexicon and the syntax. The aim of the thesis is to identify the most common ways of recent cycling lexicon formation and their relation to various text types.
