    I am confuse about the expressions on text: CONV, FICT, NEWS and ACAD.
    Tell me if I am correct:
    CONV - conversation
    FICT - fiction
    NEWS - news
    ACAD - academic texts

    thanks

    Responding to you all in one post:
    BIBER , CONRAD, LEECH's work Student grammar of spoken and written English refers to several "registers", such as CONV, FICT, NEWS and ACAD - and yes, Marcia got the idea - in order to give a broad view of the distribution of the use of the structure on focus in each chapter. taking this into consideration...
    QUESTION TO YOU ALL: What kind of grammar(book) is theirs ?

    Thanks for the answer, teacher.

    About your question, in my opinion it is functional, because the authors use examples related to the context.

    I'm trying to post the question too...

    I think that is the notional subject is an empty grammatical element as it has no lexical meaning. But still functioning as a subject, or rather, as it is placed before the verb - in declarative sentences - there behaves like a grammatical subject.

    Yes, it relates to context. Is it prescriptive or descriptive?

    The authors use the term REGISTER, as in "frequency across registers" , where "register" values are
    CONV, FICT, NEWS and ACAD.

    For a definition of the term REGISTER, please check http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~haroldfs/messeas/regrep/node2.html

    Sorry, but is it to post here ou there?

    it is best to post there, as a comment to EXISTENTIAL THERE.
    We' re starting, let's adjust. I'm copying airan's post to that area now.

    Teacher,

    It is descriptive grammar because it is related to the context and it also refers to the structure of a language as it is actually used by speakers and writers.

    YES, descriptive, definitely!

    it is related to descriptive grammar beacuse of the contex which refers to the structure.
