Abstract

Forms of address have always been, and continue to be, markers of the perceived relationship between speaker and hearer. While English is the most frequently used language for international communication, there is no "one correct English system" for forms of address. This paper reports on a study done at the East-West Center with representatives of fifteen cultures who offered suggestions on what to use and what to expect as forms of address when speaking in English with people from their respective countries.
