VII
Over the past three hundred years, attempts have been made to prescribe how
we should and shouldn't use the English language. The efforts have been
institutionalized in places such as usage guides, dictionaries, and school
curricula. Such authorities have aspired to "fix" the language, sometimes by
keeping English exactly where it is, but also by trying to improve the current
state of the language.
Anne Curzan demonstrates the important role prescriptivism plays in the
history of the English language, as a sociolinguistic factor in language change
and as a vital meta-discourse about language. Starting with a pioneering new
definition of prescriptivism as a linguistic phenomenon, she highlights the
significant role played by Microsoft's grammar checker, debates about "real
words," nonsexist language reform, and efforts to
reappropriate
stigmatized
terms. Essential reading for anyone interested in the regulation of language, the
book is a fascinating re-examination of how we tell language history. |
