TYPES OF GRAMMAR
Generative
-
-
-
basic premise: native speakers of a language will find certain sentences grammatical or ungrammatical
-
Argue that generative grammar is a kind of unconscious knowledge that allows a person, no matter what language they speak, to form "correct" sentences.
- Frank Parker & Kathryn Riley

-
Descriptive
Refers to an objective, nonjudgmental description of the grammatical constructions in a language.
Linguists who specialize in descriptive grammar examine the principles and patterns that underlie the use of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences.
Descriptive grammar notes the word's use in the language, pronunciation, meaning, and even etymology—without judgment,
-
A descriptive grammarian would say that a sentence is “grammatical” if a native speaker of the language would produce that sentence in speaking.
Prescriptive
-
-
Example
A prescriptive grammarian might tell you not to end a sentence with preposition or starting a sentence with conjunction. This is the example of so-called "correct" english.
