30.01 Standard language vs language standard are different. Standard language is the norm, the optinum for educational purposes, naturally spoken by the minority of speakers, educated people speak. Language standards- rules that the language speakers should follow, linguists and theorists make the norms, all members of society are required to follow these standards. Standard english- most widely accepted and understood among speakers, used in broadcasting, TV, news etc, spoken or written, among educated speakers. Learned as second or foreign language. It doesnt concern accent, but grammar ( I aint got none, aint, double negative), vocabulary, includes formal and informal styles ( I havent got a bloody ..) Pronounc. Is accent. RP- received pronounciation (standard English is associated with RP) eg. Queens english etc. 12-15% use and actually speak standard english, 3-5% of them use RP pronounciation. Standard english is not a seperate language, just a variety, not an accent. It is not a style,formal, neutral, informal. Traditionally British english is taught at schools. Standard english variety: EngEng RP BrEnglish NamEnglish (North-American english)USEng CanEng Social variation Other standard: Australian English (AusEng) S-African English(SAfEng) NZEng Regional variation

Non-standard variaties (often called dialect)


Stigmatised- marking as being bad, not good enough, regarded as socially lower than proper, inferior AusEng was being considered as non-standard and bad English, lack of acceptance- race in US or UK class Preposition at the end of a sentence is not considered as norm(informal). English should follow Latin tradition. It is normal if people judge people by their accents but it might be offensive- Standard language is not exclusive. If you lower the standard people dont accept it (nigger).

Grammatical and lexical differences throughout the world in the English language are insignificant, most oftenly the pronounciation is different, phonetical etc (native speakers).
