20、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 though they use differe

21、nt 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 forms are the word

22、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 setting and cultural backg

24、e 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, german, italian an

26、n 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 relationship, is nonreci

29、f 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 of different language

30、s. but due to the authors ability and the limit of the thesis, the author only makes a contrastive study of english and chinese address forms here. the use of address forms is variable from culture to culture. english and chinese derive from different cultures; surely great differences exist in thei
