Summary: Input and Output theory explores how language learners acquire proficiency through exposure (input) and practice (output). Descriptive grammar observes and analyzes how language is actually used by speakers, offering a snapshot of linguistic reality. It embraces variations and linguistic creativity. In contrast, Prescriptive grammar sets rules for language use, dictating how it “should” be spoken or written, often based on historical or traditional norms. While descriptive grammar enriches our understanding of language diversity, prescriptive grammar seeks to maintain clarity and standardization, ensuring effective communication.
