Standard Dialect
【正确答案】：A standard dialect refers to a special variety of language that has no connection with a particular region or social class. That is to say, a standard dialect enjoys a wide range of intelligibility. This variety of language is often referred to as the standard language. Command of the standard language is the goal of formal language instruction. Because of its function as the public means of communication, it is subject to extensive codification (especially in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and spelling), which is controlled, and passed on via the public media and institutions, but above all, through the school systems.
