This chapter focuses on the ethnic group of Santals. The Santals are a tribal society who can be defined as a settled simple society with stable headship. The chapter attempts to investigate different syntactic features that are used as politeness strategies in Santali. Culture can be defined as a process of learning that is shared by a group of people belonging to a particular community about the knowledge pertaining to norms, values, meanings and behaviour. The use of honorific pronouns, in any language, is largely dictated by the closely related concepts of respect and deference. Respect can be defined as an object-directed behaviour that reflects consideration and acknowledgement by the subject. In linguistic behaviour, politeness may be realised phonologically, lexically and/or syntactically.
