Hanzelková, Eva ; Bozděchová, Ivana (advisor) ; Nzimba, Sylva (referee)
This thesis deals with the language of players of video games, especially computer games. The language sample was taken from written as well as spoken sources - magazines, web reviews and Let's Plays - and is limited to action, strategic and RPG games with some overlap with action-adventures.

Many expressions in the slang of video game players can also be considered professionalisms given the existence of professional players and...
