For some years now, games have been published which deal strictly with language and the method of communication between people. Is this a favorable merger? Can a game help us to better communicate or learn a new language?
In this discussion with Kathryn Hymes and Hakan Seyalıoğlu of Thorny Games, authors of Dialect, Sign and Xenolanguage we will try to answer these questions and analyze the topic.
Alessia Caviglia and Leonardo Boncinelli of the GAME Science Research Center will be moderating.
