Abstract

The paper investigates what forms of address Hungarian university students use in emails written to one of their instructors (n = 200) and what forms of address they (n = 44) choose when they are assigned a task to contact an instructor they are not familiar with in email for the first time. The results show that in most cases, students choose formal address terms that are appropriate to the academic context. When asked for the reasons behind their choices, students express the need to be seen respectful towards their instructors, an aspect of which is honouring them by using their academic titles when addressing them.
