What is another word for prescriptive linguistics?
Pronunciation: [pɹɪskɹˈɪptɪv lɪŋɡwˈɪstɪks] (IPA) 
Prescriptive linguistics, also called normative linguistics, refers to the study of grammar and language usage from a perspective that dictates how language should be used to adhere to certain standards or rules of correctness. However, there are other terms that could be used to refer to prescriptive linguistics, such as standard linguistics, traditional linguistics, or conservative linguistics. These terms signify the belief that there is an established and correct way to use language, a viewpoint that is often challenged by descriptive linguistics. Descriptive linguistics takes a descriptive approach to language and recognizes that language is constantly changing and evolving, making it difficult to prescribe one set of rules.
