A phrase, expression, or style of speech used when directly addressing or speaking to another person.
From 'alloquial' + '-ism' (a distinctive doctrine, system, or practice). This rare linguistic term extends the concept of alloquial speech into a system or collection of addressing conventions.
While 'colloquialisms' are casual everyday phrases, 'alloquialisms' would technically be those casual phrases *used specifically to address someone else*—like 'hey you!' or 'listen friend'—though this term is almost never used in modern linguistics.
