@code{:syntax-table} keyword (see below). @code{define-derived-mode}
makes the parent mode's syntax-table the parent of
@code{@var{variant}-syntax-table}, unless the latter is already set
-and already has a parent different from @code{standard-syntax-table}.
+and already has a parent different from the standard syntax table.
@item
The new mode has its own abbrev table, kept in the variable
@item :syntax-table
You can use this to explicitly specify a syntax table for the new
mode. If you specify a @code{nil} value, the new mode uses the same
-syntax table as @var{parent}, or @code{standard-syntax-table} if
+syntax table as @var{parent}, or the standard syntax table if
@var{parent} is @code{nil}. (Note that this does @emph{not} follow
the convention used for non-keyword arguments that a @code{nil} value
is equivalent with not specifying the argument.)
