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 ideal for students of applied linguistics, videogame studies and media studies who are seeking a wide-ranging introduction to the field.
Now you can buy Books online in USA,UK, India and more than 100 countries.
