EAGLES PersonalPronoun attribute Politeness="Polite".
The EAGLES attribute politeness (polite/ familiar) is limited to second-person pronouns.
In French, for example, it is possible to treat Polite simply as pragmatic values encoded
through other attributes - especially person and number.
In languages where there are special polite pronoun forms (e.g. Dutch u and Spanish usted),
the additional Politeness attribute is required.
