In the study of language, description or descriptive linguistics is the work of objectively analyzing and describing how language is actually used (or how it was used in the past) by a group of people in a speech community.
All scholarly research in linguistics is descriptive; like all other sciences, its aim is to observe the linguistic world as it is, without the bias of preconceived ideas about how it ought to be. Modern descriptive linguistics is based on a structural approach to language, as exemplified in the work of Leonard Bloomfield and others.
Linguistic description is often contrasted with linguistic prescription, which is found especially in education and in publishing. Prescription seeks to define standard language forms and give advice on effective language use, and can be thought of as a presentation of the fruits of descriptive research in a learnable form, though it also draws on more subjective aspects of language aesthetics. Prescription and description are complementary, but have different priorities and sometimes are seen to be in conflict. Descriptivism is the belief that description is more significant or important to teach, study, and practice than prescription.
Class Description - Language and Linguistics (for MA students)
The purpose of this class is to familiarize master students with the basic linguistics concepts and examine the various ways in which language has been an object of study. This includes a repetition of the terminology and methodology of 20th century linguistic science. All units consists of two parts: a theoretical introduction anda multitude of authentic data ready for analysis.

Language descriptions
6 main stages of development that have influenced esp
1. Classical or traditional grammar
2. Structural linguistics
3. Transformational Generative (TG) grammar
4. Language variation and register analysis
5. Functional/Notional grammar
6. Discourse (Rhetorical) analysis
1. Classical or traditional grammar
Descriptions of English and other languages were based on the grammars of these 2 classical languages:
• Greek
• Latin
It’s influence has never been strong but gives indirect source of influence
A knowledge of the classical description can still deepen our knowledge of how languages operate
2. Structural linguistics
In 1930’s there was an advent in structuralism, associated with linguists
In a structural description, the grammar of the language is described in terms of syntagmatic structures
Structural syllabus – a means of selecting and sequencing language items (simple to complex)
Example of ESP syllabus based on structural precepts [Ewer and Latorre (1969)]:
3. Transformational Generative (TG) grammar
Chomsky: if we want to understand how language works, it cannot be viewed as a reflection of human thought patterns.
Two levels of meaning:
Deep level
Surface level
Communicative competence – a knowledge of ‘when to speak, when not… what to talk about, with whom, when, where, in what manner,’ (Hymes, 1972)
It led to the next three stages of development:
Language variation and register analysis
Language as function
Discourse analysis
4. Language variation and register analysis
If we view language as part of a communicative whole, it is clear that language use shows considerable variety
Language varies according to the context of use
It enables us to distinguish:
Formal from informal
Written from spoken
Self-sufficient language from context –dependent language
4. Language variation and register analysis
Language variation gave rise to the type of ESP which was based on register analysis
However, register analysis is an insubstantial basis for the selection of syllabus items
“Research and experiment continue, but in general the results have not been encouraging… In short, register cannot be used as a main basis for selection, because there is no significant way in which the language of science differs from any other kind of language” (Coffey, 1984).
5. Functional/Notional grammar
Functions are concerned with social behaviour and represent the intention of the speaker or writer
Notions reflect the way in which the human mind thinks
It is difficult to divide up the learning tasks into units of equivalent value across the various languages on the basis of formal grammar
Notions and functions represent the categories of human thinking and social behaviour so approximate equivalence can be achieved
Students’ needs are not to learn the basic grammar, but rather to learn how to use the knowledge they already have.
Structure + Context = Function
6. Discourse (Rhetorical) analysis
How meaning is generated between sentences
Can I go out to play? It’s raining.
Have you cut the grass yet? It’s raining.
I think I’ll go out for a walk. It’s raining.
It’s raining. I think I’ll go out for a walk.
The ultimate aim of discourse analysis is to make learners into more efficient readers, by making them aware of the underlying structure of a text and the way in which language has been organized to create structure.
REMEMBER:
• There is no single from which a language course can, or should, derive its linguistic input.
• Describing a language for the purpose of linguistic analysis does not necessarily carry any implications for language learning.
• Describing a language is not the same as describing what enables someone to use or learn a language.
