Economics and Business Management UNIT 1 Titles MR., MRS., MISS, MS.

Economics and Business Management UNIT 1 – File 1 A TITLES- Come rivolgersi alle persone 1 Con un interlocutore maschile: Mr + surname Con un’interlocutrice: Ms + surname Con un’interlocutrice sposata o vedova: Mrs + surname* Con un’interlocutrice nubile o giovane: Miss + surname* * Note well: Molte persone considerano la distinzione tra Mrs e Miss un fenomeno linguistico discriminatorio e ormai superato. L’opzione politicamente corretta è Ms + cognome. Mrs, Miss e Mr (Mister) si scrivono sempre con l'iniziale maiuscola. “Mister” si scrive sempre abbreviato “Mr”. Il plurale di Mister in lingua moderna è Misters , nonostante che si usi anche la forma - sopratutto scritta - Messrs , derivata dal francese Messieurs. Sia Mrs che Miss e Mr non sono mai preceduti dall'articolo e sono sempre seguiti dal cognome mai dal nome. Mrs deriva dall'antica forma Mistress. Nell'uso moderno oltre a Mrs e Miss esiste una forma, Ms, che non precisa lo stato civile della donna. Come Miss and Mrs., Il termine Ms. deriva dal titolo inglese femminile che veniva usato per tutte le donne , Mistress. Cadde in disuso ma poi tornò in auge nel ventesimo secolo. Sia Mss. che Mses. possono essere usati per il plurale. Alessandra Loi 2016-2017

Economics and Business Management UNIT 1 TITLES- Come rivolgersi alle persone 2 Non si usano Mr, Ms o Mrs senza cognome come vocativi: Good evening, Mrs. No! Good evening, Mrs Harrison. Yes. Con Miss invece, l’uso del cognome non è obligatorio: Excuse me, Miss. Yes. NOTE WELL: Se non conosciamo i cognomi delle persone usiamo Madam per le donne e Sir per gli uomini . Ex: Can I help you, Madam? Can I help you, Sir? Alessandra Loi 2016-2017
