Abstract

Standard language is generally regarded as language well establishe by usage
in the speech and writing of educated people. As a product of schooling, this
learnt language has, in may societies, come to assume a special place and is
looked upon as an authoritative model of correctness and quality and, at its
best, perfection. In language conscious speech communities, standard
language also serves as a reliable measure of language profeciency which is
made use of by people in administrative or educational authority. Language
planners and prcatitioners in particular are charged with the responsibility of
upholding this language in its purest forms. Meanwhile, the learning and
teaching of standard language have become accepted as an integral part of
every national or state-level educational system‟s long-term obligations. This
paper presents the discussion on the innappropriateness of the use of them
„standard‟ instead of “standardized” language. It also suggests that planning
for language policy within a particular situation inevitably demands taking
into account not only multiple social factors and goverment goals, but also the
ways in which these conditions affect language and literary acquisition across
segments of the population, otherwise it can be a dilemnatic and problematic
policy.
