"Digital Agency in Play - Language, Social Interaction and Digital Games": This project brings together two of my main research areas of digital games and language by focusing on the topic of human and non-human agency. By primarily applying the method informed by ethnomethodolog- ical and conversational analysis and multimodal interaction analysis on digital play, I investigate the social practices that are formed through the interaction with others in virtual environments. In these various inter- actional encounters, fundamental aspects of and attitudes towards digital agency are made accountable through language. Adding to this micro level analysis, the macro level (aspects of game design and technol- ogy like VR/XR, the game's cultural anchoring and the digital play frame in general) are taken into account in the analysis as well.
