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.
