  • Adressing the other : ti vs. Vi in Slovenia and in North America
    Šabec, Nada
    Addressing the other, as one of the most fundamental social skills, requires a number of choices on the part of the speaker depending on the relationship between the interlocutors and the ... complexities of a particular language. Typical of languages such as Slovene is the use of a binary pronominal system, where a single person can be addressed by either the T or the V form. This paper examines the use of Slovene second person pronouns in as far as they mark personal and social (in)equality in face-to-face interactions. It explores social dimensions that are usually associated with the choice of appropriate pronouns and, in addition, compares the use of ti vs. vi in native and in diaspora contexts. Findings, based on the analysis of questionnaire data, show a relatively stable situation in Slovenia, with well established rules and fairly consistent use. In North America, on the other hand, most speakers seem to be uncertain about the distinction between the two and use them almost randomly. Their strong preference for ti might be attributed to the diminishing knowledge of Slovene and, possibly, to the influence of the single English form you. Finally, the growing tendency of younger speakers in Slovenia toward ti is addressed as a possible indication of a language change in progress
