RECEIVED. When used of language, received usually refers to what is accepted and approved in educated, especially middle-class society: ‘The tip of the tongue for received English is not so advanced towards the teeth or gums, as for the continental sound’ ( A. J. Ellis, On Early English Pronunciation, vol. 4, 1874).
