Language Prescription : Values, Ideologies and Identity Hardback
Edited by Don Chapman, Jacob D. Rawlins
Part of the Multilingual Matters series
Hardback
Description
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.
