1965 W. A. Stewart in R. W. Shuy Social Dial. & Lang. Learning 15 I will refer to this topmost dialect in the local sociolinguistic hierarchy as acrolect (from acro- ‘apex’ plus -lect as in dialect). In most cases what is meant by ‘Standard’ English is either acrolect or something close to it. At the other extreme is a kind of speech which I refer to hereafter as basilect (from basi- ‘bottom’).
