abstract = {The allocutive su merced ‘His Grace, His Worship’ is currently regarded as a syntactic Americanism. In certain Hispanic American geolects, su merced is currently used for second person singular (2P su merced) deixis and may denote respect  (V  address)  as  well  as  intimacy  (T  address).  The  traditional  hypothesis  argues  that  these  uses  are  only  found  in  American  Spanish,  and  that  the  alloc-utive su merced dates back to the Afro-Hispanic varieties of the colonial period. This  chapter  establishes,  for  the  first  time,  the  evolutionary  connections  of  the  current Americanism with the history of su merced usage in Spain. It also explores a new, non-literary database and argues for a new diachronic hypothesis on (2P) su merced, from a Pan-Hispanic perspective.},
