Very nice distinctions. I especially like how you combine levels of
formality with distance (proximate/distal). Have you considered doing
this for the other 3p formality levels too? The "animal" person, is a
really strange one, including other people's babies and "freaks". Is
there a natlang out there that does this?! It's funny and yet at the
same time very disturbing... :)
