English - Noun
DIALECT (_plural_ DIALECTS)
* (linguistics) A variety of a language (specifically, often a spoken variety) that is characteristic of a particular area, community or group, often with relatively minor differences in vocabulary, style, spelling and pronunciation.
* _A language is a DIALECT with an army and a navy._
*
And in addition, many DIALECTS of English make no morphological distinction between Adjectives and Adverbs, and thus use Adjectives in contexts where the standard language requires _-ly_ Adverbs: compare
(81) (a) Tex talks _really quickly_ [Adverb + Adverb]
(b) %Tex talks _real quick_ [Adjective + Adjective]
* A dialect of a language perceived as substandard and wrong.
* 1967, Roger W. Shuy, _Discovering American dialects_, National Council of Teachers of English, page 1:
Many even deny it and say something like this: "No, we don't speak a DIALECT around here. [...]
* 1975, _Linguistic perspectives on black English_, H. Carl, page 219:
Well, those children don't speak DIALECT, not in this school. Maybe in the public schools, but not here.
* 1994, H. Nigel Thomas, _Spirits in the dark_, Heinemann, page 11:
[...] on the second day, Miss Anderson gave the school a lecture on why it was wrong to speak DIALECT. She had ended by saying "Respectable people don't speak DIALECT."
* A regional or minority language.
* (computing, programming) A variant of a non-standardized programming language.
_Home computers in the 1980s had many incompatible DIALECTS of BASIC._
USAGE NOTES
* The difference between a language and a dialect is not always clear, but it is generally considered that people who speak different dialects can understand each other, while people who speak different languages cannot. Compare SPECIES in the biological sense.
