Introduction
An objective description of the
structures of language, with no
comment concerning correct versus
incorrect forms.
Grammars with rules that make
distinctions between correct and
incorrect forms are defined as
‘prescriptive’ grammars.
Grammars that do not make these
distinctions and that aim to describe
Language as it is actually used are
called ‘descriptive’ grammars. (native

grammar (Chomsky, 1957, 1965):

Svartvik 1957) based on
correspondences between structure
