Column: ‘Lingua Franca’ \u2013 Implications Of Dialect In Dragon Quest IV<\/em><\/a><\/p>\nThis time around I look at the use of dialects in video games and discuss the cultural implications that dialects can have on play, as well as suggesting ways to weave this to an advantage. Initially I wasted many words finding my voice for the article, but eventually what I wanted to say came out. I’m weary of a few of the comments I made in the article, one or two which may in fact be generalizations, still the weight of the article is strong. It’s been interesting to observe the feedback from people who have a different interpretation of English dialects to my Australian flavoured opinion.<\/p>\n
I’m really starting to find some weight behind this column, as I’m practically plundering the depths of unexplored terrain. It’s similar to a project I’m currently working on now regarding Chinese-Chinese and Chinese-foreigner communication \u2013 both fields represent a lack of proper study.<\/p>\n
Lastly, I’ve completed the extended introduction of my next column which is a critique of Portal<\/em> in regards to Erving Goffman’s work on social interaction and institutions. This is a topic that I’ve had on the tip of my pen for almost a year now, I suspect that this will probably be one of my best pieces of writing, it’s shaping up that way already.<\/p>\nYou may hear more opinions on Dragon Quest IV<\/em> in another guest article shortly.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
