Ciao, Professoressa! A Study of Forms of Address in Italian and Its Implications for the Language Classroom.
Musumeci, Diane
Italica, v68 n4 p434-56 Win 1991
An investigation of the sociolinguistic features that govern contemporary use of the Italian formal ("Lei") and informal ("tu") forms of address suggests that teachers of Italian must help students become aware of the complex factors underlying the choice of form, rather than just drill them in usage.
