Abstract:

This book is a detailed examination of social connections to language
evaluation with a specific focus on the values associated with both
prescriptivism and descriptivism. The chapters, written by authors from many
different linguistic and national backgrounds, use a variety of approaches and
methods to discuss values in linguistic prescriptivism. In particular, the
chapters break down the traditional binary approaches that characterize
prescriptive discourse to create a view of the complex phenomena associated
with prescriptivism and the values of those who practice it. Most importantly,
this volume continues serious academic conversations about prescriptivism and
lays the foundation for continued exploration.
