20、y in the fifth part.2. literature review of address forms2.1 definition of address forms by far, there are several definitions of address forms, but different scholars tend to use different terms. for example, some use“address terms”，“designators”; others use “vocatives”，“appellations” etc. even tho

21、ugh they use different terminologies, basically they were explaining the same phenomenon. in this thesis, the term “address form is preferred because it clearly reminds us of the social interaction and of the speaker and listener. according to the author, address forms are defined as follows:address

22、 forms are the word or words used to the person or persons the speaker wants his/her words to be received and interpreted. they can be person deixis, personal names, titles, kinship terms, affectionate terms, noun phrases, etc. address forms indicate the relation of linguistic forms to social settin

24、western scholars have made outstanding and detailed researches on address forms, especially in the field of sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics. the most famous and influential study on address forms is done by brown and gilman in the 1950s. they investigated second-person pronoun usage in french

25、, german, italian and spanish. brown and gilman (1960) proposed that pronoun usage was governed by two semantics, which they called power and solidarity. that is, the study of tu ( which is analogous to“你”in chinese ) and vos (which is similar to“您”in chinese)in several european languages. they foun

26、d that the t/v (brown and gilman use the symbols t and v from the latin tu and vos) usage is governed by two factors: power and solidarity. power means that a person has power over another person the degree that he or she can control the other persons behavior. the power pronoun, like the power rela

27、tionship, is nonreciprocal because two people cant have power over each other in the same area. solidarity implied a sharing between people, a degree of closeness and intimacy. this relationship was inherently reciprocal. 3. pragmatic analysis of english and chinese address formsno matter in daily l

29、fferent languages. if we dont know their differences, its inevitable to make mistakes in using them and even cause mis- understanding and unhappiness by improper use of address forms in human interactions. therefore, its not only necessary but also significant to contrast and analyze address forms o
