Scope note:
An instance of social status is the collective ascription of a social function to an actor by a community. The substance of the social status is the communal commitment to relating to and acting toward the actor in question according to the designated status.
It is important to underline that an instance of social status relates to a classification of an individual as holding a particular role or function in the community in general. This is to be distinguished from a social relation status, a binary construct that binds two different actors in a certain relation. For example, an instance of social status could be the social status of "Coach". This social status, if ascribed to an individual, holds for that person within a general social context and for a particular group and/or population. This is distinct from a social relation status that is recognized particularly between the two individuals concerned, such as "coach of", that would particularly hold between the individual who is coach and the individual who is a team member.
Instances of social status are recognizable through evidence of community members adopting the intentional stance of so relating or acting toward the actor in question, as observable from direct witnesses, through the reports of competent observers or through evidence of a declarative act [e.g.: E17 Type Assignment] initiating this status.
Instances of social status may be attributed to individuals or to groups of individuals. Instances of social status may also be held in relation to a third party, to whom the subject of the social status bears certain rights and/or responsibilities.
Instances of social status may come to be through a formal process such as a declarative act of assignment [E17 Type Assignment], or may have arisen through habit, fiat or be of unknown origin. Instances of social status may end either though a formal process, such as a new declarative act of classification, or may simply fade out of use, be eliminated by fiat or by unknown reason.
