Forms of address in formal situations in Angolan Portuguese = Oblike naslavljanja v formalnih situacijah v angolski portugalščini : magistrsko delo
Cornejo, Catarina
The topic of forms of address has been quite productive both in theoretical and applied linguistics, with researchers’ aims ranging from broad crosslinguistic descriptions to in-depth depictions of ...address strategies in specific languages. While European and Brazilian Portuguese have been covered under the latter lens and extensively compared with one another, few studies have focused on the forms of address used in African varieties of Portuguese.
In an attempt to fill that gap, the present work dives on forms of address exchanged in formal verbal interactions in Angolan Portuguese, from a discourse analysis perspective. With that in mind, forms of address — nominal, pronominal and verbal (omitted subject) — were identified and extracted from a corpus of 17 oral interviews. Each interview paired an interviewer and interviewee, amounting to a total of 19 informants (two interviewers and 17 interviewees). The extraction and overall analysis were based on both audio recordings and orthographic transcripts.
The research carried out points to three important aspects. First, even though there may be an ongoing tendency towards democratization in Angolan forms of address (Silva-Brummel, 1984), they appear to still allow speakers to nuance the expression of deference in formal settings, namely through the use of conservative titles, in coexistence with novel forms unknown to the European norm. Second, Angolan speakers seem to be able to alternate between third person singular and second person singular inflection (especially in verb forms) with the same addressee, rather than abide to one inflection. Third, significant contrasts emerge when interlocutors insert fictional dialogues through direct speech, or momentarily interrupt the interview to address someone else. In such stretches of talk, the interviewees’ address behavior considerably changes and gives the analyst a glimpse into intimate dyads.
