Summary
A language for a person plays an important identification in the society. According to Afzali (2011), by using language, people define their relationship to each other and identify themselves as part of a social group. Inappropriate use of address terms can hinder effective communication between the speaker and the hearer since they demonstrate the social relationship between a speaker and a listener in terms of status and social distance (Akindele, 2008) in Afzali (2011). Choosing the right terms of address to use in a hierarchical organization may not always be easy. According to (Fahim and Beraunrah, 2015), Choosing address terms represents the social relationship between speaker & addressee. Address terms are names used to address others in communication in society
