“…Los pronombres de tratamiento, entonces, presentan un caso complejo e interesante para el estudio de la variación sociolingüística. Como lo señala Ton (2019), estos pronombres son herramientas vitales para una comunicación efectiva entre hablantes y un punto de partida para entender las relaciones sociales. Asimismo, es un tema que puede ser abordado desde diferentes perspectivas con el fin de dilucidar relaciones entre lengua y poder, lengua y género, lengua e identidad, o contacto lingüístico entre diferentes variedades del español.…”

A pesar de ser un tema de interés y complejidad lingüística, el uso de pronombres de tratamiento tú, usted y vos en el habla del departamento del Quindío en Colombia no ha sido estudiado. El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue analizar el uso de los pronombres de tratamiento en este departamento a través de encuestas a personas cuyas edades oscilaron entre los 12 y 70 años (N = 200). Los factores sociales que se tuvieron en cuenta para el análisis fueron edad, educación, sexo y estrato socioeconómico. El trabajo concluye que género y poder son variables independientes que influyen y modifican el uso de los pronombres y que el dialecto quindiano se caracteriza por el uso predominante de usted sobre tú, que se podría interpretar como un usted de solidaridad. El pronombre vos, por otro lado, presenta un uso casi nulo, por lo que no se considera parte de la variación dialectal quindiana.

“…The range and usage of address terms differ across languages, which is why recreating relationships between fictional characters within different address systems often poses problems for literary translators (cf. Kluge 2019;Ton 2019;Rozumko 2023). This paper contributes to the existing literature on the translation of address terms by examining their treatment in the translation of serial storytelling.…”

Between V and T address: The translation of English address terms into Polish in serial storytelling (the case of Doc)

This study is concerned with the translation of address terms in serial storytelling. It adopts the interpersonal pragmatics perspective on address terms and treats them as elements of fictional charactersʼ relational work, i.e. the work they do to negotiate their relationships in interaction. More specifically, this paper focuses on the renditions of the form Doc as used by detective Jane Rizzoli to address doctor Maura Isles in the Polish translation of Tess Gerritsenʼs Rizzoli and Isles crime fiction series. Since English and Polish have different address systems (N-V-T and T-V, respectively) and there are no informal terms equivalent to Doc to address a female doctor in Polish, its renditions depend entirely on the translatorʼs ability to understand and recreate the charactersʼ relational interaction. The Polish translators of the Rizzoli and Isles series showed different degrees of attention to the interactional coherence of the translation, which is why some of its parts contain inappropriate and impolite address forms. Overall, the relational work done by the characters has largely been domesticated in the translation and adapted to Polish speech patterns and rules of politeness. Consequently, shifts in the charactersʼ address mode take place at different moments in the translation than they do in the original version, and the form Doc is rendered in a variety of ways (both formal and informal) depending on the stage of the charactersʼ relational interaction.

This chapter explores the impact of culture and identity on discursive practices. It focuses on the use of address forms by Indian bilinguals (speakers of Indian English and Hindi) in a university setting. Our aims are to define the set of address forms used in an academic setting by Indian bilinguals and to find socio-cognitive reasons for their choice in different contexts. The data were collected through open-ended questionnaires supplemented by observations, and interviews. Our results show a strong impact of the cultural background of Indian speakers of English on forms of address and their usage and demonstrate exceptional linguistic creativity of Indian bilinguals in inventing hybrid terms combining English and Hindi. We attempt to explain our findings by using an interdisciplinary approach drawing on contrastive analysis, discourse analysis, politeness theory, translanguaging and cultural studies. Our findings provide evidence of the convergence of English and Hindi which results in Indianisation of English in the Indian context.
