Abstract:

This book investigates the connections between evaluative judgements
on language and the larger social, cultural, and political issues that
shed light on the practice of prescriptivism. The chapters cover three
main areas: language, which represents the traditional roots of the
study of linguistic norms in authoritative (historical) manuals and
judgemental attitudes to language usage; literary and scripted texts,
which illustrates the enregisterment of the values of linguistic
prescriptivism as a social and cultural phenomenon; and speech
communities, which reflects the growth in scope of the field to
consider geographical contexts beyond mainstream British and American
English to include varieties of English and other languages worldwide.
The book also discusses recent theoretical and methodological advances
in the study of prescriptivism.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
