Configuration of Style-Dialects in Banaras, India: A Continuum Based on Respect Forms.

Christian, Jane

This paper compares respect forms used in Bhojpuri, standard Hindi, and suddh Hindi. The role and use of each dialect are described, and a comparison of respect forms used in each is presented, considering phonemic, grammatical, syntactical, suprasegmental, paralinguistic, and kinesic features. The differences noted appear in a continuum among the dialects. (VM)
