Article written in standard English gets punishment (3)
I believe the answer is:
rap
'punishment' is the definition.
(as in taking the rap for something)
'article written in standard english' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'written in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'standard english' becomes 'rp' (Received Pronunciation).
'a' inserted inside 'rp' is 'RAP'.
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rap that I've seen before include "Music; charge; strike" , "Short quick tap" , "Strike; music style" , "Small amount" , "Criminal charge" .)
