  • in reply to: Linguistics is descriptive… #301

    Linguistic is descriptive for most linguists since the 20th century. It means that it describes the language as it is in practice. they laid down rules and requirements in how language should be used.

    I think some people want to be prescriptive about language, because they want a certain norm that everybody follows.
