This book explores how corpus linguistic techniques can be applied
to close analysis of videogames as a text, particularly examining
how language is used to construct representations of gender in
fantasy videogames. The author demonstrates a wide array of
techniques which can be used to both build corpora of videogames
and to analyse them, revealing broad patterns of representation
within the genre, while also zooming in to focus on diachronic
changes in the representation of gender within a best-selling
videogame series and a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing
Game (MMORPG). The book examines gender as a social variable,
making use of corpus linguistic methods to demonstrate how the
language used to depict gender is complex but often repeated. This
book combines fields including language and gender studies, new
media studies, ludolinguistics, and corpus linguistics, and it will
be of interest to scholars in these and related disciplines.
