This examination of Lebanese Arabic reverse role vocatives necessarily entails an examination of other Lebanese Arabic nonliteral vocatives, figurative and fictive, and is framed by an explanation of the field of Lebanese Arabic address terms. These nonliteral vocatives represent three types of semantic extension and reflect in different ways transient attitudes and feelings. The findings demonstrate that figurative vocatives frame the addressee in terms of a particular attribute, fictive vocatives frame both participants in terms of conventional social relationship, and reverse role vocatives reframe the speaker. The interactive significance of these vocatives is discussed in terms of the salience of interpersonal relationships and self-presentation in Lebanese Arabic interaction.
