Hey there.
Basically, my second year of A-Level work within English Language, requires me to compile a large investigation on language, in pretty much any context I want.
I have a large passion for MMORPG's, most prominently, WoW.
Therefore, one idea I have revolves around this passion, and i'm looking for any opinions you lot might have on it;
'An Investigation into how Language can be Used Within an Online Roleplaying Game.'
The title is a WIP, but it effectively covers these wide points, amongst others to be established;
- How language online, varies to RL.
- How language online can convey emotion without facial recognition.
- How language online can condone/endorse certain behaviour.
- How turn-taking, and other linguistic techniques are affected whilst online.
- "Total D*ckwad Theory" - Evaluation.
Any and all opinions are welcome, on whether this is a reasonable idea, additional points I should cover, etc.
Thanks for reading.
