Summary:[...]as Lipónski (2009) highlights, sports give rise to numerous amounts of jargon which can be linked to coaching, to terminology for training methods, to the language of sports science, to sports medicine, and to the slang terms of athletes and fans. [...]canoinha (literally: little canoe) and vela (literally: candle) are basic body positions used in AG which are commonly used in physical training exercises. In addition to flic-flack, we observed along the research the use of the term layout (step out) which is a back salto where the landing occurs with one foot at the time. [...]we were able to point out the influence of French language in WAG, mainly, in leaps, hops, jumps and dance elements whose origins are in ballet: [...]the AG symbols permit a kind of reading similar to that used in the reading of the Chinese and Japanese languages, since the meaning of one action or gymnastics element is inserted with one, unique symbol, which allows for greater agility when observing, registering and then reading afterwards.
