Abstract
The (de-)systemization of terms of address (henceforth TOA) is a thoroughly
researched issue in pragmatics, and it is difficult to attain resounding
success under the shadow of “classics” like Braun (1988). Yet
Jucker and Taavitsainen were able to edit a book that will be prospectively
influential for the further study of TOA. The Diachronic Perspec-
tives on Address Term Systems is an innovative compilation which comprises
writings from well-known authorities on TOA research in a wellarranged
way. Even though the contributors present different ideas on
temporally and spatially diverse languages, the reader gains a comprehensive
and challenging insight into the contemporary research of historical
TOA. Hence the work is not only relevant for TOA specialists,
but is also a basic handbook for readers with more general interest.
