คำเรียกขานในภาษาจีนแต้จิ๋วที่ใช้โดยคนไทยเชื้อสายจีนในเยาวราช / สุดา หัสสภาณุ = Address terms in Teochiu used by Sino-Thais in Yaowarat / Suda Hassaphanu
To analyse the forms of address in Teochiu used by Sino-Thais in Yaowarat and study the influence of the relationship between the speaker and the addressee and the age of the speaker on the use of the address terms. The data were collected by observing conversations among Sino-Thais in Yaowarat. I found that an address term in Teochiu consists of two parts. The first part is the particle /?a:/, which is optional. The other part is pronominal, kinship term, occupation/title or name, which is obligatory. The analysis shows that there are 13 forms of address in Teochiu; seven of them do not have the particle /?a:/ : pronominal, kinship term, occupation/title, name, pronominal+name, kinship term+name and occupation/title+name. The rest are forms that contain the pratical /?a:/. However, the form occupation+name is not found to coccur with /?a:/ Concerning the use of address terms according to the relationship between the speaker and the addressee, I concentrated on the reciprocal, non-reciprocal and neutral relationships and found that the kinship term is used most in non-reciprocal relationship (between elder relatives and younger relatives) and in neutral relationship (between the seller and the customer). In reciprocal relationship (between friends), the name is used most, the second is the kinship term. I conclude that respect and intimacy are factors that control the choice of address terms. If the speaker feels respect to the addressee, he/she will use a kinship term. If he/she feels intimate with the addressee, he/she will use a name. Regarding the use of address terms according to the age of the speaker, I found that the forms of address containing the partical /?a:/ tend to decrease because they occur less frequently in the younger group's speech than the older group's. As for the influence of Thai on Teochiu, I found that the address terms used by the younger speaker are affected by Thai more than those used by the older speaker. The influence can be seen in the adoption of Thai forms of address, such asthe pronoun /khun/ and /khun/+name
