Do mundo dos jogos para a "vida real" : a integração de termos gamers no cotidiano dos brasileiros

Abstract

This study aims to examine how terms that emerge in the world of electronic games are incorporated and/or adapted to the structure of the Portuguese language (PT-BR), seeking to understand how these expressions are adopted by Brazilians and how they have become part of everyday vocabulary. The study delves into the social, cultural and technological aspects that influence the adoption and popularization of these expressions, such as the impact of globalization, gaming culture, social networks and the constant evolution of communication platforms. To this end, the research conducts a detailed analysis of slang terms such as "noobie", "droppar" and "buffar", which were selected by Forbes Brasil in one of its Tech column articles, which addresses the dissemination of expressions from the gaming universe. In addition, the study seeks to understand how these expressions can be seen as a reflection of the intersection between cultures and languages, functioning as an example of linguistic trends in cyberspace. These trends can offer valuable insights into the adaptation of languages ​​in an increasingly interconnected world.
