The various aspects of present-day honorific usage

这项研究的目的是阐明人们如何使用敬语。此外，我还研究了WWW调查。其结果是，听者的性别和外表影响了说话人对敬语表达的选择，此外还影响了等级顺序和相对亲密度。但这些影响并不是很大，也不是主要因素。但事实证明，影响意识因年龄、性别、职业和教育程度的不同而发生很大变化，从而改变了人们对敬语的使用。因此，在了解了WWW调查的特点后，我认为应该将其应用于敬语调查。

The object of this study is to clarify how people use honorific expressions. Also, I researched about WWW investigation. As a result, the hearer's sex and appearance influenced the speaker's selection of honorific expressions, in addition to uchisoto("inside-outside" categorical recognition), the hierarchical order, and the relative degree of intimacy. But these influences are not so large and are not regarded major factors.However, it turned out that the influencing consciousness changes greatly by differences of age, sex, jobs, and educational career, and it changes people's honorific usage. Therefore, after understanding the characteristics of the WWW investigation, I think that it should be applied to honorific investigation.
