Broader concept
Example
- Historical languages did not have universally accepted prescriptive grammar or standardized orthography and thus spelling varies depending on the authorship region or time when the document was written. (Sukhareva, 2020)
- In linguistics descriptivism studies how language is used whereas prescriptive grammar declares how language should be used (Justice 2006). (Rottger, Vidgen, Hovy & Pierrehumbert, 2022)
- Some English speakers do not accept singular they as a grammatical construction of English (Bjorkman 2017 a.o.) and some prescriptive grammars advise against the use of singular they (c.f. Strunk and White 1999). (Lund, Omelianchuk & Samokhin, 2023)
