Today I would like to share my essay and my LibreOffice presentation of a sociolinguistic short thesis I made at university and discussed in class.
It's a study about honorific language in hindi, since the use of polite forms of address is an essential way of communicating in hindi.
In my essay I analysed the most common forms of honorific, from second person pronouns to honorific imperative, as well as the ubiquitous honorific suffix -ji and a brief collection of honorific and polite forms of address and epithets, like the well-known Sahib.
All the honorific expressions are followed by own-made hindi sentences, in order to better explain theory.
Here is my written essay from which the presentation was designed:
And here is my LibreOffice presentation:
Unfortunately, I cannot find the time to translate neither my essay nor my presentation in English, but feel free to comment and ask me any question about this topic if you are interested...
Hope you enjoy it!
