Abstract
Though English has lost the formal/informal distinction in second person pr
onouns the TV system was still important in Shakespeare's time. Coupled wit
h positioning theory, the dynamic processes of assignment and ascription of
rights and duties to perform certain types of speech-acts, the usage of TY
grammar in Love's Labour's Lost can be used to sketch hypotheses about gen
der relations among the English upper classes in the sixteenth century.
