title = "Forms of address in Surinamese and Caribbean Dutch",
abstract = "This chapter describes the factors underlying address practices in Dutch spoken in Suriname and the Caribbean, based on an online survey conducted in 2019. Respondents indicated which forms they would use in interactions with different interlocutors and which forms they would expect in return. The frequencies of T, V, and mixed T/V use demonstrate distinct patterns in different communicational contexts, with free response comments about the interactions shedding additional light on the respondents{\textquoteright} address strategies. The newly found patterns align with those in the Netherlands to some extent, although there is greater use of V pronouns. We also find a general {\textquoteleft}T trend{\textquoteright} among younger speakers in our dataset.",
