Language prescription: A success in failure's clothing? - Sharon Millar

This quote ble lagt til av ikasu
Certainly, the implication that prescriptivism can never be linguistically innovative does not really stand up to much scrutiny. Prescription can be innovative in the sense that it can promote innovations, which may or may not make it to norm status. The feminist language campaign, for example, displays obvious characteristics of prescription: conscious intervention and attempts to impose specific usage.
