SUBSTANDARD, also sub-standard. A semi-technical term for usage that is not
STANDARD or
CORRECT, such as
He ain't done nothin'. A variety of speech may also be so labelled: ‘St. Mary's Lane, Lewes, is called “Simmery Lane” in local sub-standard speech’ (
English Studies 45, 1964). The term has often been used academically, without necessarily intending a negative judgement: ‘In such communities the non-standard language can be divided, roughly, to be sure, and without a sharp demarcation, into
substandard speech, intelligible at least, though not uniform, throughout the country, and
local dialect’ (Leonard Bloomfield,
Language, 1933). Many linguists and teachers nowadays object to this use, arguing that in such phrases as
substandard housing the term means ‘of poor or low quality’ and that usage referred to in the same way is perceived in the same way. They consequently prefer the term
NONSTANDARD. Compare
DEVIANT.
