Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of honorification with a focus on the essential correlation between human relations and society. While the structural aspect of honorification, in the form of honorifics, has been discussed extensively the functional aspect of honorification as a research question requires equal consideration. It has often been claimed that obligation is one of the primary motivations behind honorification owing to its ubiquitous influence on social interactions due to differences in status, social distance, and power. However, a closer look will reveal how such social factors are a reflection of not the obligation but the underlying acknowledgement of this obligation leading to the social recognition of honorification and, thus, shifting the perspective from necessity to choice. In other words, this paper explores honorification as a synthesis of society, culture, and human nature.

人际关系中敬语的批判性分析

本文从人际关系与社会的本质联系出发，探讨了敬礼的概念。虽然以敬语形式出现的敬语的结构方面已经得到了广泛的讨论，但作为研究问题的敬语的功能方面也需要同等的考虑。由于地位、社会距离和权力的差异，义务对社会互动的影响无处不在，因此经常有人声称义务是荣誉背后的主要动机之一。然而，仔细观察就会发现，这些社会因素并不是义务的反映，而是对这种义务的潜在承认，从而导致社会对荣誉的认可，从而将观点从必要性转变为选择。换句话说，本文将荣誉作为社会、文化和人性的综合来探讨。

期刊介绍： “The fundamental idea for interdisciplinarity derives” as our Chief Editor Explains, “from an evolutionary necessity; namely the need to confront and interpret complex systems…An entity that is studied can no longer be analyzed in terms of an object of just single discipline, but as a contending hierarchy of components which could be studied under the rubric of multiple or variable branches of knowledge.” Following this, we encourage authors to engage themselves in interdisciplinary discussion of topics from the broad areas listed below and apply interdsiciplinary perspectives from other areas of the humanities and/or the sciences wherever applicable. We publish peer-reviewed original research papers and reviews in the interdisciplinary fields of humanities. A list, which is not exclusive, is given below for convenience. See Areas of discussion. We have firm conviction in Open Access philosophy and strongly support Open Access Initiatives. Rupkatha has signed on to the Budapest Open Access Initiative. In conformity with this, the principles of publications are primarily guided by the open nature of knowledge.
