【語言學】 非標準語的：由未受教育的說話者或社會不贊成的群體用的與一種語言異體有關(guān)的

The termnonstandard was introduced by linguists and lexicographers to describe usages and language varieties that had previously been labeled with terms such as vulgar and illiterate. Nonstandardis not simply a euphemism but reflects the empirical discoverythat the varieties used by low-prestige groups have rich and systematic grammatical structuresand that their stigmatization more often reflects a judgment about their speakersrather than any inherent deficiencies in logic or expressive power.Note, however, that the use of nonstandard forms is not necessarily restricted to the communities with which they are associated in the public mind.Many educated speakers freely use forms such ascan`t hardly or ain`t I to set a popular or informal tone. · Some dictionaries use the termsubstandard to describe forms, such asain`t, associated with uneducated speech, while reservingnonstandard for forms such as irregardless, which are common in writingbut are still regarded by many as uneducated.Butsubstandard is itself susceptible of disparaging interpretation, and most linguists and lexicographers now use onlynonstandard, the practice followed in this Dictionary.
詞條nonstandard 被語言學家和詞典編輯人引進用來描述以前已被詞條，例如 vulgar 和 illiterate歸類的用法和語言種類。 Nonstandand不只是委婉的說法， 而且反映了憑經(jīng)驗得到的發(fā)現(xiàn)：被具有權(quán)威的群體所用的語種有豐富而且系統(tǒng)的語法結(jié)構(gòu)，而且這些誤解被輕蔑描繪更經(jīng)常地反映了對其說話者的判斷，而不是對任何天生的邏輯和表達力的缺乏。然而，要注意，非標準語形式的運用并不必要限制于在公眾心目中與其所聯(lián)系的團體。許多受過教育的說話者自由地用這些形式如can`t hardly 或者 ain`t I 說流行或非正式的句子。 有些字典用substandard 來描述此類形式， 如ain`t， 并與未受教育的言語相聯(lián)系， 而同時保留nonstandard 用來形容 irregardless 這一類形式， 這些形式普遍用于寫作中，但仍被許多人認為是未受教育的用法。但是substandard 本身很容易引起貶低含義的翻譯， 大多數(shù)語言學家和詞典編輯現(xiàn)在只用nonstandard， 在此詞典后邊有練習
