prescriptiveness การใช้

• He's correct in his pristine prescriptiveness : To leave alone is " to allow to remain in solitude, " while to let alone is slightly different, " to refrain from disturbing ."
• Bruton notes that the claim to non-prescriptiveness must be, at best, one of scale rather than absolute intention, for the very description of a certain set of processes is in itself a form of prescription.
• We may assume that a move is uncontroversial unless it's shown to be otherwise . ( The text on the actual Requested moves page might or might not reflect this fact-there's kind of a tendency towards over-caution and over-prescriptiveness .)
• There can be no dispute that the position of grammar in the curriculum is justified .  The book recognizes much more than did many earlier grammars the variety and flexibility of English, and its prescriptiveness is justified when possible by a genuine description of linguistic habits as they are.
• Other times, it is more direct, as in the seemingly explicit pictures in the Lost in Glimmering Shadows exhibition, or in the public wheatpasting in 2010 of images of kissing women amid the text  No Change Will My Heart Fear .  The latter echoes the ambivalent prompting of Banksy s noted  Kissing Coppers wall painting, and is indicative of FAILE's consistent prioritization of ambivalence and open-endedness over more explicitly prescriptiveness.
• He proposes the study of language  in linguistic terms as a remedy [ i . e . a prescriptiveness based on genuine description of observed forms ],  for it is not that the Latin terms of the  old grammar do not suit English, it is that the non-linguistic frame of reference does not suit language .  He emphasizes the structured system of English, and the part played by the context of situation in aiding interpretation.
