But , getting back \0 what most people think of as grammar-the grammar that we may have learned in school. That's very different from either competence grammar or descriptive grammar because the rules aren1 meant to describe language at aN . They're meant to prescribe and ItJdge language as good Of bad . And this kind 01 grammar Is called, not surprisingly, presctiptive grammar because 01 its judg- mental perspectiY9. Again, to contrast prescriptive grammar with descriptive grammar , just think of descriptive generalizations as accepting the language that a speaker uses In an effort to describe it and recognizing thatlhere may be several dialects that are used by various groups or speallers aod thai any one speaker will probably choose 10 use ditlerent language depeoding on the formality, lor e:ll:8ITIpIe , or the situation.
