Resumen
Most handbooks dealing with the Galician language prefer to tiptoe around the so-called honorifics. They merely mark out the differences between tu/ti(«thou») and vostê (formal «you»). The references to other forms still alive, yetendangered, are quite rare. Therefore the present study aims to analyse all these forms (courtesy vós, ele/a, o tio/a tia) and compare their features by means of a tagging system, mainly focusing on the deixis of courtesy. Moreover, this study describes the origin and latter development of such forms, also from a structural point of view, trying to set a complete framework of which are the actual Galician courtesy forms.
