About: English usage controversies

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In the English language, there are grammatical constructions that many native speakers use unquestioningly yet certain writers call incorrect. Differences of usage or opinion may stem from differences between formal and informal speech and other matters of register, differences among dialects (whether regional, class-based, or other), and so forth. Disputes may arise when style guides disagree with each other, or when a guideline or judgement is confronted by large amounts of conflicting evidence or has its rationale challenged.

  • Des controverses sur la grammaire anglaise surgissent lorsqu'il y a désaccord sur la correction d'une construction anglaise. Elles sont souvent assez passionnées, les locuteurs défendant fréquemment avec vigueur les règles de grammaire qu'ils ont apprises à l'école. En l'absence même de toute controverse, il arrive parfois aux anglophones d'éprouver un sentiment de colère face à des erreurs grammaticales. (fr)
