This innovative text examines videogames and gaming from the point
of view of discourse analysis. In particular, it studies two major aspects
of videogame-related communication: the ways in which videogames
and their makers convey meanings to their audiences, and the ways in
which gamers, industry professionals, journalists and other stakeholders
talk about games. In doing so, the book offers systematic analyses of
games as artefacts and activities, and the discourses surrounding them.
Focal areas explored in this book include:
aspects of videogame textuality and how games relate to other texts
the formation of lexical terms and use of metaphor in the language
of gaming
gamer slang and buddylects
the construction of game worlds and their rules, of gamer identities
and communities
dominant discourse patterns among gamers and how they relate to
the nature of gaming
the
multimodal
language of games and gaming
the ways in which ideologies of race, gender, media effects and
language are constructed.
Informed by the very latest scholarship and illustrated with topical
examples throughout, The Language of Gaming is ¡deal for students of
applied linguistics, videogame studies and media studies who are seeking
a wide-ranging introduction to the field.
