Dear Cheryl,

I second Janet's suggestion of Duranti's recent edited volume.

Another reading that comes to mind:

Keating, Elizabeth, and Alessandro Duranti. "Honorific resources for the
construction of hierarchy in Samoan and Pohnpeian." *The Journal of the
Polynesian Society* 115, no. 2 (2006): 145-172.

And, although not as directly about the topic:

Muehlmann, Shaylih. "“Spread your ass cheeks”: And other things that should
not be said in indigenous languages." *American Ethnologist* 35, no. 1
(2008): 34-48.

best,
Mara
