Senior Colleagues and Honorifics
Japanese honorifics turn everyday workplace talk into a subtle power play
10 Feb 2026
0
How do Japanese honorifics used for senior colleagues reflect workplace social dynamics?
They are used mainly to make conversations sound more formal without reflecting social status.
They linguistically reinforce social hierarchy and respect through specific suffixes and prefixes.
Honorifics are interchangeable and do not depend on the speaker's relationship or rank.
