Examples of Standard and Non-Standard Sentences in Indonesian – The article on this occasion again discusses about standard and non-standard. The standard or non-standard of a word is determined according to the general guidelines for enhanced Indonesian spelling (EYD). If on previous occasions it has been discussed about characteristics of standard and non-standard words, so this time we will focus on standard and non-standard sentences.

Definition of Standard Sentences and Non-Standard Sentences

Standard sentences are sentences that comply with the rules of language Indonesia, including rules in spelling, sentence structure, to word selection. In a standard sentence, there must be a standard word. Non-standard sentences are sentences that are not in accordance with Indonesian rules. This type of sentence is not a bad sentence so that it cannot be understood by the reader. Non-standard sentences may actually be more familiar because they are more often used in everyday conversation.

effective. These two sentences may be similar, but effective sentences are not necessarily standard sentences. While the standard sentence must be an effective sentence.

Standard Sentence Requirements

A standard sentence must meet several conditions according to the rules in Language Indonesia. The conditions that must be met in a standard sentence are:

1. Logical

A sentence is said to be standard if the sentence is logical or can be accepted in the common sense of the reader or listener. The communicative aspect is not the determinant in the standard sentence. Sentences that are communicative and often used are not a guarantee that the sentence is a standard sentence. Here is an example of a logical sentence:

Visitors who bring cell phones, please turn off their cellphones immediately.

Compare with the following sentences:

Visitors who bring cell phones should be turned off immediately.

The second sentence actually asks to turn off visitors who bring cell phones.

2. Save

Standard sentences are sentences that do not waste words. Notice the following sentences:

The students looked at each other with their own eyes in the game unique this.

The sentence above contains a waste of words with the use of word "each other" and "look at each other", as well as "each other's eyes". The sentence can be more effective if it is changed to:

The students looked at each other in this unique game.

3. Solid

Coherence in a sentence can be interpreted as the suitability between the elements of the sentence so that there is no misinterpretation. Example:

From The results of the meeting showed that the decision to lay off had a bad impact on the people's economy.

The sentence above is not coherent because it does not have a subject element. In order to become a coherent and standard sentence, it can be changed to:

The decision to lay off has a negative impact on the people's economy.

4. Structural Conformity

The suitability of the structure becomes important in a sentence so that there is no confusion of meaning. Standard sentences have the appropriate structure. Consider the following example:

Mom bought dad's clothes for a birthday present.

The sentence above actually has a ambiguous meaning. What my mother bought was not clothes but father. The sentence can be corrected to:

Mom bought dad a shirt for a birthday present.

Error in Sentence No Raw

A sentence is declared to be a non-standard sentence if it does not meet the criteria sentence raw. Some errors in a sentence that cause it to be non-standard include:

Error	Non-standard Sentences	Standard Sentence
Inaccuracy of Writing Punctuation	Dad asked, "Why don't you study hard?	Dad asked, "Why don't you study hard?"
Inaccuracy in Capital Letters	Andi and ani are twins who have been separated for a long time.	Andi and Ani are twins who have been separated for a long time.
