Conventionalism in grammar is the idea that certain aspects of language usage and grammar conventions are accepted as the norm. This means that they are prescribed by a certain authority, and they are to be followed and respected by a given language's users. Aspects such as spelling, punctuation, grammar, and diction are all subject to conventionalism in terms of their usage and construction. To put it simply, convetionalism in grammar is a school of thought or an approach which recommends the use of accepted and traditional grammar conventions for writing in a given language.

Conventionalism in grammar is the use of conventions – socially accepted forms of grammar – to control the meaning, structure and overall interpretation of language. It refers to the widespread, socially accepted conventions of using specific structures and words to express certain ideas. This includes rules of punctuation, capitalization, and word order. By following these conventions, we are able to quickly and accurately interpret the meaning of what is being said. This allows for easier communication and helps maintain standardization. Conventionalism also allows speakers to draw on similar experiences, language, and ideas of others, which add clarity and precision to their exchanges.
