Annotation

This paper explores how (pro)nominal address forms are used by (fe)male university students from Quito (Ecuador), Santiago (Chile) and Seville (Spain), to manage rapport (Spencer-Oatey 2008 [2000]) in two conditions: advising and direct complaint uttering (Boxer 1993). Chileans and Ecuadorians show more emotion than Spaniards. And men employ address forms more often than females across the three sites.
