Item Honorifics in Iraqi Arabic with Special Reference to English: A Sociopragmatic Study(SORUS S.C. Wydawnictwo i Drukarnia Cyfrowa, 2011) Matti, Ala' A.This paper tackles the phenomenon of honorifics which is widespread in the world’s languages, more various in form, and more creatively deployed, than was once supposed. Before moving to the definition of honorifics we have to specify linguistic honorifics, our concern in this paper, since deference may be conveyed in ways other than speaking and writing, such as kneeling or nodding to express courtesy. Also, the study focuses on how honorifics are formed and the role of morphology in formulating some honorific items. It tries to show different types of lexical honorific titles as well. Then, honorifics are divided into two types: non-religious and religious ones and it is shown how they are employed by the Iraqi speakers in day-to-day interactions. It, also, attempts to uncover the identity of the honorer and the honoree. However, the study shows how religion and conventions have a vital role in directing honorific titles towards religious symbols.
