hypercorrection (n.)

A term used in LINGUISTICS to refer to the movement of a linguistic FORM beyond the point set by the VARIETY of LANGUAGE that a speaker has as a target; also called hypercorrectness, hyperurbanism or overcorrection. The phenomenon usually takes place when speakers of a non-standard DIALECT attempt to use the STANDARD dialect and ‘go too far’, producing a version which does not appear in the standard, e.g. putting a long /a:/ in place of a short /æ/ in such words as cap, mat, etc. Analogous behavior is encountered in second-language learning.
