ANALYSIS ON THE FUNCTIONAL USE OF THE EMERGING GAMING LANGUAGE INCORPORATED IN THE DAILY DISCOURSE OF PRESENT DAY FILIPINO GAMERS
I. Introduction
The Filipino youth nowadays engage in the world of gaming like it is their life. They spend so much time immersed in the world of these games with their peers, some just to past time, some as their life. These youth get so much input from these games that they play that it become subliminal and it becomes part of their vocabulary, ultimately their discourse.
This paper will then discuss on the observations made by the researchers regarding the incorporation of the gaming language they are exposed to into their daily discourse.
II. Methodology
The researchers deployed participatory observation while collecting data to be able to create a substantial and accurate analysis of the incorporation of gaming language to ones daily discourse.
III. Presentation of the Subjects
The subjects where observed in their natural settings. This was made possible because the subjects where somewhat related to the researchers for ease of access and gathering of data. They are college gamers who enjoy spending their time in competitive gaming in computer shops that offer rental of personal computer units for the use of the clients. They are normal students studying in a premiere university in the Philippines. They have no knowledge of the data gathering process to avoid contamination of the sample and observer bias.
IV. Objectives
Due to the short amount of time available for the researchers, only the incorporation of the gaming language into the subjects discourse will be analyzed and how it functions in expressing the subject’s thoughts and ideas. Analysis of the incorporated terms and expressions will be highly given attention in the paper. The researchers therefore aim to present the incorporations of the gaming language in to the subjects discourse as objective as possible with credits to the data
