“…Peninsular Spanishes have shown that there is variation, for example, in the use of pronominal address in Peninsular and Ecuadorian Spanish (Placencia 2005), or with respect to the use of mitigating devices in Chilean and Peninsular Spanish (Puga Larraín 1997) (see Placencia 2011 for an overview in the area). Variation in nominal address usage across region is thus probable.…”

Nominal and pronominal address forms, which play a central role in the construction of interpersonal relations (cf. Bargiela et al. 2002;Clyne, Norrby and Warren 2009), have been the focus of attention in different linguistics subfields for several decades now. Less attention, however, has been paid to these forms from a variational pragmatics (Schneider and Barron 2008) perspective, particularly in Spanish.Using a corpus of role play interactions, we examine the impact of region and gender on nominal address usage among male and female university students from Quito (Ecuador), Santiago (Chile) and Seville (Spain). We look at how these forms are employed in rapport management (Spencer-Oatey 2008 Among the findings recorded was a larger repertoire of nominal forms in the Santiago and Quito data sets relative to the Seville corpus, with the highest frequency of use in Santiago. We suggest that address usage in the dyadic contexts examined is connected to the expression of affect and involvement, with Chileans (Santiago) and Ecuadorians (Quito) displaying more affect than Spaniards (Seville). Contrary to early research suggesting that women employ more affiliative language than men (cf. Lakoff 1995), overall, males in the present study were found to use address forms more frequently than females across the three locations.

Este artículo supone una aproximación a la pragmática discursiva histórica del español en un arco temporal extenso y en diferentes áreas geográficas del continente americano. Se parte de una visión teórica de la lengua como realidad dialógica y, en cuanto a la metodología, se aplican los principios de aquellos enfoques teóricos que abordan la comunicación hablada y escrita. Sobresalen la sociopragmática y la pragmafilología, concernidas respectivamente con la relaciones personales y sociales y con los aspectos contextuales de los textos. Del análisis se obtienen resultados relevantes sobre los actos de habla en textos del siglo XVI portadores de fuerza ilocutiva en La Española y en Tierra Firme; se recogen también los

“…"These include situation-specific contextual factors such as the relationship between participants in an interaction as well as factors relating to participants' identities and their membership of different social and cultural groups." 1 The participants in addressing the audience are the addresser, the person performing the address, and the addressees, the recipients of the address. The addresser has to bear in mind these questions: 1) is he/she addressing one person, a group of people, or an audience, 2) is communication casual or formal, 3) is he/she addressing people in writing or in speaking, and 4) what is the gender of the addressees.…”

The analysis focuses on ways of addressing the audience in Croatian. As the function of the address is to perform a social task, as opposed to conveying information, the role of the address is phatic, and it should follow communicative conventions. Significant considerations are politeness and correctness, as the addresser wants to address the addressee most politely. Some formulaic forms of address, such as dame i gospodo (‘ladies and gentleman’) create no problem. Still, the speaker often faces the problem of whether to use only the masculine noun or the feminine and masculine pair. Croatian has rich word-formation, so linguistic issues rarely occur, but pragmatic questions about using the feminine pair arise often. All nouns denoting a person and adjectives, pronouns, and some verbal forms which refer to them are genderspecific in Croatian. The corpus for the analysis consists of different texts from two Croatian corpora and the Internet. The address formulas usually have the following structure dragi/poštovani/cijenjeni (‘dear/respected/esteemed’) + addressee. The cases when more coordinated noun phrases denote the same addressee are also analyzed.
