Interference phenomena deriving from "imperfect group learning during a process of language shift" (Thomason and Kaufman 1988:38) fail to adequately describe how native speakers deal with and pragmatically exploit honorific resources in the target language. This paper presents data regarding language shift on the French Antillean island of Saint Barthelemy, where older speakers of the indigenous francophonic vernaculars are speaking as their second language standard French, while younger speakers are acquiring French as their first language and the indigenous languages as second languages. In each case, speakers replicate the honorific or equality register formations of their first languages in their second languages, thus breaching the first language pragmatic rules of use. An investigation of the processes involved in this phenomenon demonstrates that speakers have recourse to metapragmatic projection of the nonreferential function (Silverstein 1976) of second person pronouns from first language to second language in ideologically rationalizing and enacting their honorific/nonhonorific option.
