International sporting events in South Africa, identity re-alignment, and Schneider's EVENT X
In its review of Carlin's Invictus (2008, back cover), The Daily Telegraph 'Books of the Year' refers to the symbolic power of sport, which gains 'power not only from the achievements of the players, but also from the dreams of those who watch them'. This article examines the degree to which the Rugby World Cup of 1995 and the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup, both hosted in South Africa, can be evaluated in terms of Schneider's Dynamic Model as examples of EVENT X, in the sense that they have prompted identity re-alignment, acted as a spur to the development of South African English (SAfE), and promoted South African national identity. Selected texts are evaluated to demonstrate the identity re-alignments and linguistic consequences that these sporting events elicited. The Lead SA initiative demonstrates the desire that the shifts should not be transient, but continue beyond the sporting events themselves.
