the ideology of language hierarchy 諸言語の間にはヒエラルヒー(上下関係、階統秩序)があるという考え方
This is the sets of beliefs, norms and values that linguistic practices can be labeled and divided into different categories (like “language”, “dialect”, and “slang”), that there is a hierarchy between such categories ("languages are superior to dialects", for example) and that some languages have higher status than other languages.
