Patterns of address in Dili Tetum, East Timor
journal contribution
posted on 2017-05-03, 01:46 authored by Williams-van Klinken, Catharina, Hajek, JohnThis article focuses on a detailed description of patterns of address in Dili Tetum today. It outlines the complexities of the address system and points to considerable variation in its evolving present-day use. We find, amongst other things, that a speaker may use a range of address strategies even to the same addressee, and that the use of polite pronouns Ita and Ita-Boot appears to be spreading as the language extends into new domains not previously available to it.
