      I have a feeling this might help you a little, but you've a long journey ahead to go from the prescriptive view to the descriptive one used in language sciences... but anyway, great and relevant article by Petros here:https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/fragile-future-cypriot-greek-language-uk …

      Thanks for the link, I'll give it a read. But linguistic science notwithstanding, how does this become accessible and understandable to ppl that are not interested in reading up on it? The average user of the language is interested in the prescriptions after all.

      The onus is on us o make our work accessible and available and to raise awareness about what we do and why it is important. But often the answers we have to give do not satisfy some people because, as you say, they look for prescriptive answers that tend to be simple(r)

      Yup, thanks. I think there is some responsibility for all academics to be mindful of how our work is interpreted. Prescriptivism is something so many desire, but it's not a realistic or healthy goal/idea.

      I understand that non-linguists can be frustrating to academics. But be mindful that when we try to understand we often tend to be biased towards the practical answers because we want to use the language to communicate.

      To be clear, I might be in a division called Psychology and Language Sciences at UCL, but I am certainly not a linguist.

      Well both you and Petros have more tools to explain all this than me certainly. I'm reading all your replies carefully.

      I sometimes think Cypriot journalists on both sides need some training on basic linguistic concepts. We both use language and handle its political side effects without full training other than correct grammar and spelling.

      Hire him! So many positive side effects will come your way too like upsetting fascists (authoritarians love prescriptivism).
