Abstract
When honorifics in Japanese are broadly divided into old honorifics and modern honorifics, one of the greatest differences we find is in patterns of honorific behavior. Today, the transition to relative honorifics has been completed in standard Japanese, but in regional communities there are dialects in which absolute honorifics can still be found.In this paper, the A. examines specifics of the transition from absolute honorifics to relative honorifics by examining one dialect community which is in the midst of such a transition.
