Standard English
Standard English
(often shortened to
SE
within linguistic circles) refers to whatever form of the
English language
is accepted as a national norm in any English-speaking country. It encompasses
grammar
,
vocabulary
and
spelling
. In the
British Isles
, particularly in
England and Wales
, it is often associated with: the "
Received Pronunciation
" accent (there are several variants of the accent) and UKSE (United Kingdom Standard English), which refers to grammar and vocabulary. In
Scotland
the standard is
Scottish Standard English
. In the
United States
it is generally associated with (though controversially) the
General American
accent and in Australia with
General Australian
. Unlike the case of other
standard languages
, however, no official or central
regulating body
defines Standard English.
