L'innovativo approccio utilizzato prevede la combinazione di metodo quantitativo, basato su un campione di 151 informatori e comprendente analisi statistiche, e metodo qualitativo, basato su 7 interviste individuali e 2 focus group. Nell'analisi dei dati, viene esplorata la relazione fra la percezione del proprio uso dei dialetti e variabili quali età e sesso, ma anche origine geografica degli informatori e uso dei dialetti nella famiglia d'origine. Nella discussione dei risultati, vengono considerati aspetti che possono influenzare le dichiarazioni sul proprio uso dei dialetti, come l'autocensura e il prestigio sociale attribuito ai dialetti. L'attenzione viene anche portata su un aspetto specifico della situazione linguistica di Roma, segnalato dagli stessi informatori, ovvero la prossimità fra romanesco e italiano, che rende problematica l'identificazione del romanesco contemporaneo come dialetto vero e proprio.

Their answers are seen in relation to their age and gender. The interpretation of results is informed by qualitative data and considers aspects that could have influenced respondents' answers, such as self-censorship, social prestige attached to dialects, proximity of Roman dialect to normative Italian and perception of what is Roman dialect.

A propositional concept of metaphor, as underlying previous theories, is disputed. Metaphor is instead semiotically explained as a form of semiosis by way of semasiotropy – a concept developed out of Leopold Kretzenbacher’s research in iconotropy. The function of scientific metaphor as an aesthetic agent of creative inference is discussed in terms of Harald Weinrich’s image field theory (Bildfeldtheorie). In science, the increase in complexity through the heuristic process is subsequently reduced by strict selection of accepted research.

The first two situations are, apart from their fuzzy edges, rather clearcut. The third situation, however, appears anarchic and has a high embarrassment potential. In an empirical study based on 72 interviews conducted in three regions of the German speaking area, the three prototypical situations are explored. A number of potentially conflicting rules and preferences for ambiguity are isolated. These include individual preferences, network preferences and perceptions of social distance, based on factors such as relative age, emotional closeness of interlocutors, and perceived commonalities between them. In spite of the complex interplay of competing rules and preferences and the consequent embarrassment potential, German speakers appear to reject any imposition from outside of a particular address form. This study is part of a larger, Australian-based project comparing the address systems of French, German and Swedish.

We are specifically interested in two major aspects: intralingual behaviour, that is, within the same language community, and interlingual dimensions of address pronoun use. With respect to the former, we summarize our key findings to date. We then give consideration in a more preliminary fashion to issues and evidence relevant to the latter.
