____________________________________________________________

    This volume presents the findings of an empirical
examination of the Honduran Ladino culture. This study has
found that there are in Honduras different rules for
pronominal address that correspond to differences in the
gender and social class of the speakers. Thus, there are
different rules for men and women, as well as for members
of the middle and lower classes. Other factors influencing
the choice of pronoun are:
    - the age and education of the interlocutors,
    - the type of relationship existing between them (i.e.,
friendship, collegial, or kinship),
    - the topic of conversation,
    - their relative social power,
    - the situation and the setting in which the
interaction takes place, and
    - the emotional and/or pragmatic meanings encoded in
the pronouns.

    The choice of pronouns at any given moment is generally
affected by several of these factors, making it difficult
to isolate any single factor, thus allowing for more
predictability in the norms of pronominal address. In
addition, there exist some co-occurrence rules that
determining the appropriateness of a given pronoun in the
utterance.

    Finally, this volume pays special attention to the
different semantic and pragmatic functions fulfilled by
switching from one pronoun to another. Thus, establishing
that pronominal switching can, indeed, be considered as an
instance of code-switching as a conversational strategy.
