In linguistics, an honorific (abbreviated hon) is a grammatical or morphosyntactic form that encodes the relative social status of the participants of the conversation. Distinct from honorific titles, linguistic honorifics convey formality form, social distance, politeness pol, humility hbl, deference, or respect through the choice of an alternate form such as an affix, clitic, grammatical case, change in person or number, or an entirely different lexical item. A key feature of an honorific system is that one can convey the same message in both honorific and familiar forms i.e., it is possible to say something like (as in an oft-cited example from Brown and Levinson) "The soup is hot" in a way that confers honor or deference on one of the participants of the conversation. Honorific speech is a type of social deixis, as an understanding of the context in this case, the social status of the speaker relative to the other participants or bystanders is crucial to its use. There are three main types of honorifics, categorized according to the individual whose status is being expressed: Addressee (or Speaker/Hearer), Referent (or Speaker/Referent), Bystander (or Speaker/Bystander).
