## Summary

This poster was presented on 2021 April 8 - 11 at the [39th meeting of the
West Coast Conference on Formal
Linguistics](https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/).

Provided abstract:
We present honorific mismatches between 2P pronouns and allocutivity in
Japanese to argue against a consolidated account of honorificity à la Portner
et al. (2019). The allocutive marker in Japanese consists of a [politeness]
feature, valued by agreement with a c-like head. However, honorificity on
Japanese pronouns is not monolithic and encodes a range of affective meanings,
not all of which can be encoded via formal features. This shows that a c-based
account is insufficient for pronouns.
