INSCRIBED BY JILA GHOMESHI on title page; As new; Within linguistics the term "prescriptivism" is used to refer to the judgments that people make about language based on the idea that some forms and uses of language are correct and others incorrect. This book argues that prescriptivism is unfounded at its very core, and explores why it is, nevertheless, such a popular position. In doing so it addresses the politics of language what prescriptivist positions about language use reveal about power, authority, and various social prejudices.
