Abstract:
In this ground-breaking new textbook, best-selling author and experienced
gamer, James Paul Gee, sets out a new theory and method of discourse analysis
which applies to language, the real world, science and video games. Rather
than analysing the language of video games, this book uses discourse analysis
to study games as communicational forms. Gee argues that language, science,
games and everyday life are deeply related and each is a series of
conversations. Discourse analysis should not be just about language, but about
human interactions with the world, with games, and with each other,
interactions that make meaning and sustain lives amid risk and complexity.
