The Usage of "Usted" in Three Societies: Colombia, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
Rey, Alberto
Language Quarterly, v32 n1-2 p193-204 Sum-Fall 1994
Compares previous findings on the social correlates of the "Usted,""Tu," and "Vos" variation in three Latin American countries. All the countries have a non-solidarity function in the party (toward strangers) and the workplace (toward subordinates and superiors) domains. It is difficult to assess the effects of age and sex of the addressee on pronoun variation. (23 references) (CK)
