“…True, a study of ancient languages must be entirely text-based; but the use of texts is becoming more and more popular anyway, and some of the most important works in the history of address theory have been based exclusively on written data (e.g. Friedrich 1966). This is not to say that texts can be used indiscriminately -see below for a discussion of the nature of the Greek evidence -but it does mean that the restriction of data to written texts does not in itself make a language unsuitable for sociolinguistic study.…”

This article summarizes the results of a longer study of address forms in Ancient Greek, based on 11,891 address tokens from a variety of sources. It argues that the Greek evidence appears to contradict two tendencies, found in address forms in other languages, which have been claimed as possible sociolinguistic universals: the tendency toward T/V distinctions, and the principle that “What is new is polite.” It is suggested that these alleged universals should perhaps be re-examined in light of the Greek evidence, and that ancient languages in general have more to contribute to sociolinguistics than is sometimes realized. (Address, Ancient Greek, T/V distinctions)

Slovenščina ima ogovorni sistem, ki se od osnovnega dvojnega ogovornega sistema mnogih evropskih jezikov loči v tem, da oblikovno razlikuje do štirih ravni formalnosti (neformalno/tikanje, polformalno/napol vikanje, formalno/vikanje in ultraformalno/onikanje). Do nedavnega je bilo onikanje v redni uporabi tako v neposrednem kot v posrednem ogovoru (oz. govorjenjem o odsotni osebi). Čeprav bi lahko slovnične značilnosti onikanja izvirale iz stika z nemščino, se zdi, da predstavlja slovenska uporaba onikanja v posrednem ogovoru samostojen izum. Avtor analizira Linhartovo veseloigro Županova Micka z namenom, da razišče in prikaže vzajemno delovanje teh ogovornih oblik. Podobne raziskave onikanja v drugih jezikih (češčina, slovaščina) bi lahko bolje osvetlile pojav, ki je prisoten v več slovanskih jezikih.Slovene has a system of address that differs from the basic binary address system of many European languages by grammatically distinguishing up to four levels of formality (informal, semiformal, formal, and ultra-formal). Until recently, ultra-formal address was regularly used in direct as well as indirect address (i.e., reference to absent persons). Although the grammatical characteristics of Slovene ultra-formal address (3 rd plural) appear to have been the result of contact with German, the Slovene application of this form to indirect address appears to have been an independent innovation. Anton Tomaž Linhart's play Županova Micka is analyzed in order to explore and illustrate the interaction of these various address forms. Similar studies of ultra-formal address in other languages (e.g., Czech and Slovak) could shed light on a phenomenon that has been attested in multiple Slavic languages.

“…One case in point concerns Paul Friedrich's brilliant analyses of Russian pronominal usage (Friedrich 1966(Friedrich , 1972). Friedrich's essays on this topic were an attempt to show how pronominal alternation in Russian literary works served to show an enormous range of psychological and cultural dynamics, including status relations, emotional feeling, and rhetorical manipulation.…”

Emotion and sincerity in Persian discourse: accomplishing the representation of inner states

This paper deals with the presentation and evocation of emotion in performative face-to-face linguistic communication in Iran. Performance in linguistic communication is shown to involve the speaker's need to convey an impression of his or her own inner states. Since aectivity is one of the most dicult things to convey in face-to-face interaction, it is posited that a person employing successful linguistic performance skills must have a series of strategies available for demonstrating that he or she is truly conveying a speci®c intended emotion. This involves a two-stage process in which the speaker ®rst signals that a message conveys an emotion, then signals the nature of the emotion being conveyed. In order to accomplish this, culturally prescribed symbolic elements are presented by the speaker that must be performed for others to``read'' the emotional content of a communication. Added to the performative skills needed by the speaker is the requirement that the emotion conveyed be perceived as``sincere.'' This paper continues earlier research (Beeman 1986) demonstrating the eectiveness of speakers in Iran in creating the contexts for the interpretation of their own strategic communication. Performance, emotion, and linguisticsFormalist linguistics is greatly hampered in its ability to handle aectivity, because expressions that demonstrate states of human inner feeling are not merely cognitive in nature. They must be performed to be adequately communicated and understood. For this reason, performance is an essential component of emotion in language.
