If the purpose of the List is to explore language in an objective way using
the findings of linguistics, then there is nothing contradictory about I
ain't done nothin'. It's not standard English but aren't we exploring
language that is often seen as having no standards just because it isn't the
language of the court, of the capital, of the government?
