Descriptive Linguistics

Descriptive linguistics is the study of how language is actually used by people, rather than prescribing rules about how it should be used. This approach examines various aspects of language, including grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, by observing real-life examples from different speakers. It seeks to understand the diverse ways in which language functions in society, acknowledging that language constantly evolves. In the context of language and logic, descriptive linguistics helps inform our understanding of communication, meaning, and the ways people express thoughts and ideas.
