Summary/Abstract: Recognizing that appellative systems are subjected to particular sociocultural codifications, through this study we try to verify whether the didactic presentation of the forms of address, and in particular the forms of address of the Spanish-speaking world, is not limited only to a formal schematization, overlooking the interpretative clues about the scope of use and sociopragmatic conventions. Carrying out the analysis of several textbooks of Spanish as a foreign language, we try to find out what functional values the address forms acquire in the proposed contextualizations. In our approach, we take into account both pronominal and nominal forms of address. We also propose to investigate the question of the conceptualizations through which different methods of Spanish as a foreign language reflect notional contents that are linked to the contexts of formality and proximity.
