The present paper explores the nature of Jordanian relational.. social honorifics with an eye to systematizing these honorifics and shedding light on the socio-pragmatic constraints governing their use. Relational honorifics in Jordanian Arabic are divided into two major classes: kin terms and titles of address. Both classes are argued to involve distant and affectionate honorifics. Whereas distant honorifics are exclusively employed among strangers, affectionate ones are mainly used among friends or relatives, and occasion- ally among strangers. The study demonstrates how elaborate and subtle the interaction between language and social coordinates is in Jordanian Arabic.
