Description
1. INTRODUCTION Nowadays, "meinu" ([TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII.], 'beautiful ladies') is a popular address term to female in our daily life. A great number of women have been addressed as "meinu" regardless of their appearance, age, occupation, and so on. Therefore the word "meinu" is no longer a privilege term used to refer to beautiful young ladies, but a pan-honorific term for the females. Li (2001: 68) has pointed out "terms of address can reflect a society's norms and values". It is true that the address terms for females are changing over time, partly due to the reason that women play an increasingly important role in the modern society. With the development of economy, more and more women begin to participate in the social work and their address terms are changing with their social positions.
