Abstract	This thesis provides linguistic analysis of English dialects as they appear in fantasy films and videogames. A corpus of three films and four videogames is used, with parallels being drawn between fantasy races and archetypes based on the varieties of English they use. The introductory part of the thesis lays out the goal of the research and its basic principles, as well as a detailed description of the fantasy races/archetypes discussed. The empirical part analyses English dialects found in the corpus and provides commentary. Similarities across different sources are observed, particularly in relation to the sociolinguistic elements of fantasy worlds. Some possible linguistic (dialectological) conventions of the fantasy genre are formulated.
