Research on the alleged legacy of eighteenth-century prescriptive rules on pre-National Curriculum grammar writing. She will examine a representative number of eighteenth-century grammars specifically written for schools and will investigate the most recurrent prescriptive grammatical rules. She will then examine whether these features are given special attention in the APU basal readers, and whether they stand out in the writings by Year-6 schoolchildren.
