Influence de l’e-gaming sur le parler Des gamers camerounais : Une étude Lexico-sémantique

Abstract

The cohabitation of several languages in Cameroon generates contacts among them and this is visible in the e-gaming field. Being a playful activity at the base, the e-gaming touches a great number of young people and brings a link between them and the English language. In the aim of analyzing the influence of this activity on the language habits of Cameroonians who practice it, this study will describe this phenomenon in the light of previous linguistic works and theories. On the other hand, it will concretely show the impact of video games on the language use of those who play regularly: gamers. In addition, we shall examine, in the light of this impact, the possibility of using e-gaming in a target language learning (more precisely English).
