Speaking About and Through Video Games: Towards Verbalizing a New Grammar by Alexandre Dubois

“…In effect, many renowned video game characters are recognized through their defining actions: while Mario jumps, Sonic runs, Megaman shoots and Solid Snake hides. Since a number of scholars attempted to verbalize such a common trait, and in doing so constituted a grammar in which verbs define entire games’ structures, this article takes these linguistic tropes at their word by suggesting that the infinitive is the primary form of video game verbs. …”
