Speakers' feelings towards the counterpart are also reflected when they choose expressions. The concept is explained by the following words in the MISJ programs. |

Mental Distance
 The speaker him/herself and a person who the speaker feels is mentally close to him/her and their family should be always treated as “INSIDER”.  A person who the speaker feels is mentally far from him/her. Adults you have met for the first time should be always treated as “OUTSIDER”.  A person who has no special relation with either the speaker or the counterpart, in other words people in general are usually treated as “NEUTRAL”. |
