Abstract:

Address term systems and their diachronic developments are discussed
in a wide range of European languages in this volume. Most chapters
focus on pronominal systems, and in particular on the criteria that
govern the choices between a more intimate and a more distant or
polite pronoun, as for instance thou and you in Early Modern English,
vos and vuestra merced in sixteenth century Spanish or du and Sie in
Modern German. Several contributions deal with situations in which
more than two terms can be used and several also note co-occurrence
patterns of pronominal and nominal forms of address. The volume
provides a multivaried picture of the evolutionary lines of address
term systems and a representative range of current approaches from
pragmatics and sociolinguistics to conversation analysis. It is thus a
timely contribution to the rapidly expanding field of historical
pragmatics.
