Abstract:

Word stacking is a very popular game in the world. In general word stacking games are called Scrabble games. Word stacking games are educational games that prioritize vocabulary. There are several important aspects in word stacking games, including the configuration of the reference word and the value of letters. However, until now, there are no word stacking games with game configurations that use Balinese as a language reference. The purpose of this study is to design a word stacking game in Balinese as a language reference and determine the value of each letter used in the word. In its design, the word used is sourced from the Second Edition of the Balinese Dictionary which consists of 10441 words. All the words will be grouped by the value using the K-Means Clustering method. Before all the words grouped with K-Means Clustering the words will be determined the frequency of occurrence of each letter in the word, appearance at the beginning and end of the word, and the frequency of the use of letters as a prefix and suffix. The results obtained from grouping with K-Means Clustering are letters A having the smallest value, namely 1 point and letters C, J, W, and Y have the largest value, 10 points.

Abstract:

Games play a vital role in shaping the character and behavior of people, especially young people. King of Glory has recently become one of the mainstream games in Chinese society, with a high profile, a large player base, and a relatively young average player age. The purpose is to analyse the swear and emotional words in the game of King of Glory. This paper takes the live playback in the last year of Billie as the research object, collects the three word categories of swear word, emotion-label word, and emotion-laben word when the host plays games in the video, and makes a timely analysis of the collected typical data. The result is that the most common words used by most players in the game are emotion-laben words, swear words, and emotion-label words in descending order; the frequency of swear words, emotion-label words, and emotion-laben words in the three Honour of Kings anchor groups increases with the decrease in the number of anchor fans. The reason why gamers use swear words and emotional words frequently might be because it is closely related to the competitive nature of the game and the matching mechanism of the game that leads to the ups and downs of the game users.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to study the factors that affect the difficulty level of words in word games and the related content of their reported results. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the factors that influence the difficulty level of a word and the variability of reported results in word games. The research highlights the efficacy of using a BP neural network for predicting the distribution of reported results, and the findings have important implications for both game developers and players. After dividing the difficulty of words in word games, the model in this article has achieved an accuracy of over 80% in predicting their difficulty. By providing insight into the factors that influence the difficulty level of a word and the variability of reported results, the paper can help game developers design more engaging and challenging word games, while also assisting players in improving their word game performance.

Abstract:

Although board games and video games have been studied for decades in artificial intelligence research, challenging word games remain relatively unexplored. Word games are not as constrained as games like chess or poker. Instead, word game strategy is defined by the players’ understanding of the way words relate to each other. The word game Codenames provides a unique opportunity to investigate common sense understanding of relationships between words, an important open challenge. We propose an algorithm that can generate Codenames clues from the language graph BabelNet or from any of several embedding methods – word2vec, GloVe, fastText or BERT. We introduce a new scoring function that measures the quality of clues, and we propose a weighting term called DETECT that incorporates dictionary-based word representations and document frequency to improve clue selection. We develop BabelNet-Word Selection Framework (BabelNetWSF) to improve BabelNet clue quality and overcome the computational barriers that previously prevented leveraging language graphs for Codenames. Extensive experiments with human evaluators demonstrate that our proposed innovations yield state-of-the-art performance, with up to 102.8% improvement in precision@2 in some cases. Overall, this work advances the formal study of word games and approaches for common sense language understanding.

Abstract:

We present a recommender system intended to be used by a community of gamers. The system uses free-form text reviews of games written by the members of the community, along with information about the games that a particular user likes, in order to recommend new games that are likely to be of interest to that user. The system uses the frequency of co-occurrence of word pairs that appear in the reviews of a game as features that represent the game. The pairs consist of adjectives and context words; i.e., words that appear close to an adjective in a review. Because of the extremely large number of possible combinations of adjectives and context words, we use information-theoretic co-clustering of the adjective-context word pairs to reduce the dimensionality. Games are represented using the standard information retrieval vector space model, in which vector features are based on the frequency of occurrence of cocluster pairs.We present the results of three experiments with our system. In the first experiment, we use a variety of strategies to relate frequencies of co-cluster pairs to vector features, to see which produces the most accurate recommendations. In the second, we explore the effects of co-cluster dimensionality on the quality of our system’s recommendations. In the third experiment, we compare our approach to a baseline approach using a bag-of-words technique and conclude that our approach produces higher quality recommendations.

Abstract:

Semantic adaptation refers to the process of adjusting the meaning of a foreign word to the linguistic system of the recipient. When a word is "borrowed" from a foreign language, its original meaning may be lost or changed to better fit the new linguistic environment. This usually happens through prolonged use of the word in the target language, during which a new connotation of the word may gradually develop. In this study, the semantic adaptation of German-origin words in the Bosnian language system refers to the adjustment of the meanings of words integrated into the Bosnian language. Specifically, we examine how German-origin words related to sports and games are adapted to the Bosnian language system and what changes in their semantics are noticed after integration into the Bosnian language. This paper will also analyze the prevalence of German words in the field of sports and games and investigate how often they are used in the Bosnian language. By combining the analysis of semantic adaptation of words and research on the frequency of word usage in the Bosnian language, this paper will provide insight into the influence of the German language on the Bosnian language in the field of sports and games.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for using word games in a foreign language class at a university. The article is devoted to the use of word games in foreign language classes at the university. It is emphasized that language and speech games in general have great potential in teaching a foreign language, increasing the motivation to study it, contributing to a more effective assimilation of language material, activating the speech-thinking activity of students. Scientific novelty – taking into account the analysis of the existing classifications of games, the concept of “word games” is formulated. As a result, the role of word games in teaching vocabulary is substantiated and a list of the most popular of them is given. Based on the survey data of junior students, it is concluded that the use of word games will, to a certain extent, solve the existing problems in teaching vocabulary. The proposed methodology is based on such provisions as taking into account general didactic and general methodological principles, observing the principle of didactic sequence, correlating the organizational and methodological structure of the lesson and specific word games.

Abstract:

This study aims to determine the implementation of word games and their impact on student learning outcomes in learning new vocabulary in grade VII Mts Hasyim Asyari Ambon academic year 2020/2021. This research was conducted in three cycles. Using word games as a methodology in teaching English vocabulary starts with the preliminary activities of the teacher opening the class, preparing word game activities, and conveying the objectives of the material. Then in the core activity, the teacher applies the word games. The teacher gives instructions about the rules and activities of word games. In the closing activity, the teacher asks students to express their difficulties and problems when doing word games. The subsequent finding is that student learning outcomes increase each cycle, wherein only five students, or 20%, have completed the pre-cycle using conventional methods. During the first cycle, learning was carried out using word game methodologies. The number of students who achieved completeness threshold rose to 16 people or 64%. In the last cycle, all students can complete the post-test with the same methodology. It shows that using the word games methodology to deliver vocabulary learning materials has significantly improved student learning outcomes.

Abstract:

Abstract Stimulating leisure games have been shown to offer cognitive stimulation among older adults. This cross-sectional study examined the association between word games (crossword puzzles and scrabble) / cards and games (games such as chess) and cognitive functioning among adults aged 65 years and older (n=3271). All data were collected from the Health and Retirement Study (2016). Results from the hierarchical regression models suggest that higher levels of participation in word games (p<.01) and cards and games (p<.01) predicted higher levels of cognitive functioning. In the final model, after controlling for age, gender, ethnicity, marital status, education, and income, a total variance of 31 percent was explained. All covariates were statistically significant except marital status. Word games (β=.117, p<01) and cards and games (β=.054, p<.01) had a significantly positive association with cognitive functioning. These findings suggest that participation in word games and cards and games are associated with cognitive functioning among older adults.

Abstract:

Every human being in this world certainly uses a language as communication. In this modern era, there are so many media that provide the means to communicate each other. It’s through social networks such as Facebook or Twitter, or using a cell phone that at this moment there are so many softwares for chatting and SMS. With the Internet in this modern era, the development of language increase rapidly. The created of a new word and language makes the language more variety. Same is in the online games that are widespread recently, that’s easy to find a new words and languages in online games. But not least people do not understand the definition that word. In this research entitled “Neologism using acronyms and abbreviations in DOTA 2” will discusses about the formations of words or meanings using neologism theory in DOTA 2. DOTA 2 is a multiplayer online game that developed by Valve company. There are a lot of new words using the form acronym and abbreviation. This phenomenon is very interesting to discuss in this article because that new language not only used in the game but also used in daily activity by gamer.

Abstract:

Language games in which the phonological forms of words are systematically altered have been well-studied from a typological perspective. The two most common types of language games entail the transposition of phonological constituents (usually syllables) and the addition of phonemes at one or more locations within the word. Here we examine the latter type, proposing a novel distinction between insertion-type games and imposition-type games (exemplified, for example, by Spanish grande, which has the language game form grafandefe). In previous studies, imposition-type games have been analyzed formally as inserting a CV-template after each vowel of the word. We propose instead that such games involve the imposition of a consonant articulation upon the vowel. Not only is this approach conceptually simpler than the templatic approach, but it also provides an unproblematic account of diphthongal behavior, a natural explanation for the high frequency of inserted labial consonants, and independent support for the concept of the demisyllable.

Abstract:

Abstract The following article is about the presence of English loanwords in the language used by young gamers. It is of research nature - it is based on the recognition, around the mother tongue, of primary and secondary school students. It emerges from survey research whose aim was to examine how the language of young Poles is influenced by information technology, especially computer games and films related to gaming. The most important aim of the research was to diagnose to what extent and in what form English vocabulary used in computer games penetrates everyday language of students. It was also important to establish the way in which Polish absorbs loaned vocabulary in natural communication and adjusts it to its rules (inflexion, syntax, word building). The questions prepared for the purpose of the survey examined linguistic intuition of students who had the possibility to choose the lexicon (English word and its Polish equivalent), as well as show the understanding of words typical of computer games which derive from English and are also changed in some way. The research tool also examined the student's lexical competence which was supposed to be directly related to the environment of new technology and computer games as well as examined the use of given lexicon in various syntactic constructs. The foundation for the described results and the topic discussed in this article were the thoughts regarding the role and the influence of new technological and socio-cultural reality and their influence on the changes in the language.

Abstract:

Precedent names as a means of language games in word-formation (on the basis of Eygen Pashkovsky’s novels). The object of this arh'cle is to illuminate new derivates that were created on the basis of precedent names in novels of modern Ukrainian author Eygen Pashkovsky. Language games in the process of word-formation show a tendency towards democratization in Ukrainian language and disappearing bounds between spoken and literary language. New words that appear on the basis of well-known proper names widen different parts of speech i.e., adjectives, verbs, nouns. Expanding semanh’cs and hyper-expression of author’s neologisms are analyzed in the context of language games. The author of the article suggests that precedent names modified in language game expand their semantics and attract attention due to their form.

Abstract:

The current study strives to enhance seventh graders’ comprehension of English vocabulary using word games during online learning at Ban Nonsawan School in Loei, Thailand. This study was based on early findings suggesting students have difficulty learning English due to a lack of vocabulary. Participants in this research ranged in age from 12 to 13 years old and were part of a class of 18 students. This study employs a Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology. The data was gathered by observation, questionnaires, and a test. Triangulation was used to evaluate the data. This study indicates that the seventh-grade students’ junior high school English vocabulary at Ban Nonsawan School, before the classroom action research implemented the word games, averaged 62% in cycle 1. After implementing word games, the score increased in cycle 2, an average of 79%. The results of this study met the achievement indicator of 75%. They show that online learning executing word games can motivate students, remember vocabulary quickly, and make learning fun. Based on the classroom action research findings, it can be concluded that word games can help students in seventh grade at Ban Nonsawan School in Loei, Thailand, enhance their English vocabulary proficiency.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to determine the importance of games, which are effective in providing student motivation within the scope of game-based learning in Turkish lessons. Games enable students to participate more actively in the lesson and make learning more fun. Games also have a positive effect on students' socialization and self-confidence. It is known that teachers often apply games that are effective in encouraging students. Teachers who teach Turkish as a foreign language at primary education level outside of Turkey, do instructive activities to increase students' motivation to the lesson through gamification for primary school students at A1-A2 basic level. In this context, in order to determine the game preferences of the teachers in the lessons, the opinions of 37 teachers about the subject were asked by the researcher as a question, through online and face-to-face interviews, one of the qualitative data collection methods, and the data were collected by recording their answers. The obtained data were interpreted after being analyzed as content and descriptive. According to the findings of the research, word generation, word card games, garden games, puppet-miniature games, balloon-ball games, puzzle games, word-of-mouth games and memory games were determined as the most preferred games in providing motivation for teachers. Keywords: Teacher's view, foreign language, primary school Turkish lesson, game preference, motivation.

Abstract:

The language game has been a long-term study object among linguists and philosophers. The given paper studies the functions and ways of implementing language games in the professional communication of Disney studio animators through the analysis of morphemic and semantic structure of the selected language units, the context of their use and their functions. The given study is supposed to be of contemporary scientific relevance due to low interest in the peculiarities of professional communication in animation and is aimed at filling to some extent the gap in the studying of animation specialised vocabulary by researching its language games through their word-building tools. The study object is represented with the language games and their functions. The subject of the study deals with various ways of word-building in the context of professional communication in animation: contamination, collocating semantically mismatching words (oxymoron), conversion, working rules stylized as the Bible commandments. The undertaken research revealed that the examined language units, formed as a part of the language games process, fulfilled pragmatic functions and were used for achieving definite production, creative and communicative purposes. The examined material and proposed analysis can be useful for a broad audience of theorists and practitioners in the field of lexicology and ways of word-building, discourse studies and communication studies.

Abstract:

Word games are one of the most essential factors of vocabulary learning and matching letters to form words for children aged 5–12. These games help children to improve letter and word recognition, memory-building, and vocabulary retention skills. Since Uzbek is a low-resource language, there has not been enough research into designing word games for the Uzbek language. In this paper, we develop two models for designing the cubic-letter game, also known as the matching-letter game, in the Uzbek language, consisting of a predefined number of cubes, with a letter on each side of each six-sided cube, and word cards to form words using a combination of the cubes. More precisely, we provide the opportunity to form as many words as possible from the dataset, while minimizing the number of cubes. The proposed methods were created using a combination of a character-level n-gram model and letter position frequency in words at the level of vowels and consonants. To perform the experiments, a novel dataset, consisting of 4.5 k 3–5 letter words, was created by filtering based on child age groups for the Uzbek language, and three more datasets were generated, based on the support of experts for the Russian, English, and Slovenian languages. Experimental evaluations showed that both models achieved good results in terms of average coverage. In particular, the Vowel Priority (VL) approach obtained reasonably high coverage with 95.9% in Uzbek, 96.8% in English, and 94.2% in the Slovenian language in the case of eight cubes, based on the five-fold cross-validation method. Both models covered around 85% of five letter words in Uzbek, English, and Slovenian datasets, while this coverage was even higher (99%) in three letter words in the case of eight cubes.

Abstract:

Behaviors and information often spread via person-to-person diffusion. This paper highlights how diffusion processes can facilitate coordination. I study contagion in a discrete network with Bayesian players. In addition to characterizing the extent and rate of adoption, we uncover a new effect: when large cascades are possible in equilibrium, exposure conveys information about a player’s network position. This effect underscores a novel trade-off in the design of marketing campaigns, suggesting conditions under which word-of-mouth is relatively more effective. A generalization of the model to multi-type networks suggests a new approach to targeted seeding. (JEL D83, D85, M31, M37, Z13)

Abstract:

Although technology has been integrated into vocabulary instruction, to date, few studies have compared whether learning management system (LMS) vocabulary exercises or vocabulary online games facilitate better vocabulary acquisition. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) vocabulary lessons plus LMS exercises and TOEIC vocabulary lessons plus MultiEx games (online games) foster short-term vocabulary memorization and long-term vocabulary retention, as well as which performed better. Participants were 72 first-year students at a university in southern Thailand. They were divided into two experimental groups, one given LMS exercises and the other MultiEx games. A word list was taken from the TOEIC word list and a pre-test was used to determine how many words students knew. The unknown words were used in the design of the vocabulary lessons. Ten lessons were provided for the students. Immediately after each lesson, a post-test was conducted to measure their vocabulary recognition. Two weeks after the final lesson, a delayed post-test was conducted to determine how many of the new words had been retained. The main finding was that both vocabulary memorization and retention were enhanced through the use of LMS exercises and the use of MultiEx games. The results showed a higher mean score for the MultiEx game group in both the immediate post-tests and the delayed post-test. Although the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant, the findings suggest integrating technology enhances vocabulary learning outcomes.

Abstract:

Two commercially available, computerized vocabulary games were assessed for their teaching benefits to users. The games were independently tested against three criteria, not against each other. The Matching Game used a rehearsal teaching strategy and required participants to match words to their meanings. The Analogy Game used a semantic strategy and required participants to determine the relationship between the meanings of three words. Game scores were used as the dependent measure because they reflected the accuracy of the participants' responses and their knowledge of the word meanings. The assessment revealed three points of interest about the games. First, participants improved game scores when they reviewed the meanings of words presented in the games. Second, participants did not improve their ability to determine the meaning of new words that were presented in either game. Third, participants with low verbal skills prior to playing the Matching Game demonstrated greater improvement in game scores than the participants with initial high verbal skills.

Abstract:

Recently, digital games are used as a form of new media with massive potential for learning the English Language. To understand the typology of user experiences with digital games, the Presence-Involvement-Flow Framework (PIFF) was utilized. A series of semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten tertiary students in Northern Malaysia. Participants were asked to download and familiarize five digital language games (Duolingo, Memrise, Word Connect, Word Domination and Word Tower Puzzles) before the interviews. Thematic analysis technique was used to analyze the responses. The study’s thematic network comprises four global themes (Game Structure, Feelings, Skills Gained and Prerequisites) and seven organizing themes (Instruction, Game Design, Positive Emotional Outcome, Negative Emotional Outcome, Soft Skills, Technical Skills and Skills Required). The result is expected to be a good guideline or research framework for practitioners and researchers in exploring further the concept of user experience with English language digital games.

Abstract:

The development of social media has led to an increasing number of people participating in the online guessing game Wordle, which has become a popular phenomenon on Twitter. Understanding the difficulty of the Wordle game is important for both players and game designers. This article aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the game by analyzing its gameplay reports and word difficulty. Firstly, this article predicts the distribution of Wordle report results. Using a multivariate logistic regression model, the probability distribution prediction is converted into a classification problem, with word attributes and the average number of guesses per player as independent variables for prediction. At the same time, this article introduces random noise into the model prediction to address low probability issues. The model is evaluated using MAE and RMSE, and sensitivity analysis is conducted using k-fold cross-validation. In order to further evaluate the difficulty of words in the game, this article uses the entropy weight-TOPSIS method combined with the Bi-Kmeans classification model to classify word difficulty. The model results show that word difficulty can be divided into five categories. Finally, this article evaluates the performance of the model using Davies-Bouldin Index and the Silhouette Coefficient, and the results show that the model has strong reliability and persuasiveness.
