The article discusses several modes of expressing a game player’s gender applied by users of the Internet. According to the author, one of the main functions of the word ‘graczka’ (usually translated as ‘female game player’) is to fill a lexical gap. The gap exists in the language due to the fact that Polish usually lacks a short female equivalent of the word ‘gracz’ (masculine for ‘game player’). Thus, not only does the implementation of the word ‘graczka’ manifest elimination of the asymmetry related to gender in Polish nouns referring to performers, but it also shows that users of the Internet are in favor of the economy principle in their variant of the Polish language.

Classic players of role-playing games (RPG) form a speech community due to the fact that they use a sociolect of their own making. This subtype of national language, contingent on a particular group, has been built upon social ties resulting from common interests. The variant is based on the colloquial language style merged with the role-playing game terminology (official phrases), sociolectal lexemes (non-official) and their foreign equivalents (mostly English). The structure of the sociolect studied here allows for classifying it as a professional sociolect since it is characterized by the preponderance of professional and communication resources of language over primarily expressive ones. However, it is necessary to emphasize that various types of sociolects are separated with fuzzy borders and have vague semantic scopes.
