The Pragmatics of Video Games



Video games and streams have gained importance in today’s digital world and we believe that analyzing their discourse is crucial given the large number of consumers of these products all over the world. We have decided to study the interactional mechanisms that exist within matches of League of Legends that are streamed on YouTube and Twitch. These are the units for our analysis. Specifically, we ask ourselves: How is interaction achieved in streamed matches of League of Legends and what conversational features do they exhibit? The concepts we will apply include sequential structure, speech event, frame, deixis, footing, and intertextuality, audience, multimodal communication, among others.

Adele's Phonological Variation and Audience Design



We have concentrated on one of the most salient features of the Cockney accent in Adele's speech in three different videos: an interview, an acceptance speech and a monologue. Adele is an English singer and songwriter born in the Tottenham district of London, whose accent has become an integral part of her public image. Over the centuries, the Cockney accent has long been associated with the working-class in London, specifically with the East End of the city. One of the most salient features of this accent is (TH)-fronting, defined as the production of the voiceless dental fricative /θ/ as the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/.

Celebrity Code-Switching and Community Perceptions


We focus on language choice as a linguistic means of Latinx identity construction by different celebrities and explore how this is sometimes not accepted by the Latinx community on social media. We have chosen to analyze several videos in which Anya Taylor-Joy, Jennifer Lopez and Jenna Ortega perform their Latinx identities in the US. 






Sociolinguistic Variation in the If-clauses (or... women are not afraid of numbers)



In this study of grammatical variation, the variable we will focus on is the “pretérito imperfecto del modo subjuntivo” used in cases of narration of hypothetical or counterfactual events performing an explanatory function. The two variants studied will be the “pretérito imperfecto del modo subjuntivo”, considered the standard, and the "condicional simple del modo indicativo" as the non-standard variant used in what in English would be considered the If clause: “si atendería en un consultorio, ganaría más plata”.
