To appreciate literary texts properly, understanding social relations of characters an essential prerequisite. In discourse, particularly in conversation, speakers often produce summonses in terms such as titles, personal names, both personal names and titles, affectionate terms, and so on. This research examines forms and functions of summonses, a subtype of address terms, in written discourse from a sociolinguistic and textlinguistic perspective. The text that is used in this research is The Age of Innocence, a novel by E. Wharton(1920). This study first reviews the need and significance of the investigation of address terms, focusing on summonses. Second, this research classifies types of summonses in terms of names, titles, and affectionate terms in the novel, considering social factors which determine the social relations between the speaker and the hearer. Third, this study shows how the change of address terms is reflected in the development of the story, showing that summonses function as devices of establishing and maintaining social relations between characters. Finally, this research suggests that investigation of types and functions of summonses is helpful for understanding social relations of the characters reflected in the choice of address terms in literary texts.
