dc.description.abstractThis study examines the role of social parameters in the choice of address forms used in kinship domain in Punjab, Pakistan. The study targeted 140 respondents from four different regions that are Central, Northern, Southern and Western regions of Punjab, Pakistan. To reveal the association of different social factors in the choices of address forms in kinship domain, the impact of different social parameters like age, gender, social class, education, income and regional differences based on use of kinship terms are analyzed. In order to test and investigate the impact and influence of social factors along with the regional differences in the choices of address forms in kinship domain, statistical analyses is done by applying t-test for gender in relation to choices of address forms and ANOVA for age, income, education and social class. The study finds out that there is a strong connection of different social parameters not only with language use and practice but also in choices and use of address forms especially in kin terms. The other related finding is that gender and the participants belonging to young and middle categories show no significant difference with regard to the choices of address form despite the fact that all the factors and parameters exert influence on the choices of address forms. The present study is not only innovative but also helpful for future researchers to work more in this domain.en_US
