| Priestley's and Lowth's grammars epitomized, respectively, the two main trends of grammatical tradition, namely descriptivism and prescriptivism. |
| There are several alternative theories of ethics, including utilitarianism, universal prescriptivism, Kant's theory, intuitionism, and the theory of information ethics. |
| That's prescriptivism — no doubt about it. |
| To some extent, the presence of phoneticians on the committee ensured that the strict prescriptivism expressed by Reith in 1924 was to some extent mitigated. |
| Indeed, this fear of prescriptivism came to inform an active rejection of eco-feminist and vegetarian feminist theory. |
| Just as a paradigm of mechanical prescriptivism took hold of the elocutionary movement in the nineteenth century, so too did it pervade instruction in handwriting. |
