From an etymological point of view, the original meaning of the subject honorifics was "giving something from a higher person to a lower person" but not the subject honorific itself.  Later, new forms that implied the strategy of indirect descriptions became the subject honorifics; at the same time, expressions which meant "receiving a benefit" were also used as some subject honorifics.  The polite style forms (hearer honorifics) originally meant that the speaker was subject to the higher person. Namely, the expression of being under a higher person changed to the hearer-oriented polite form as a style marker. In this grammaticalization to the polite form, it was very important that proto-polite forms were verbs mean "being" which were used in the text many times., 論文 (Article)}, pages = {67--76}, title = {文法化の観点から見た日本語敬語形式の通時的変遷試論}, volume = {24}, year = {2007}, yomi = {モリヤマ, ユキコ} }
