Anrede und Grußformen im Deutschen
-

Summary/Abstract: Terms of address and personal salutation are the most important features for starting communicative contacts. There are almost no information in dictionaries and in grammars, and very few in manuals for teaching foreign languages. This paper deals, for oral and written communication in German, with the most important conventions of address: on the pronominal and nominal level and in the domain of protocol. Moreover some examples of diachronic change are discussed.
