A study of polite expressions deviated from norms: an approach using experimental psychology

摘要

Disorders or transitions of polite expressions have been pointed out recently. Polite expressions that deviate from the norms come in various deviation types. Examples of such a deviation types are: simple error of word form, a misunderstanding of the situation in which the words are to be used, etc. The strength of the unnaturalness caused by such polite expressions may depend on the deviation types. The unnaturalness (or naturalness) for several deviation types of polite expressions were quantified by an experimental psychology method. The dependency of naturalness op the deviation type and subject were analyzed statistically in our study.
