👉 In literature, "conscriptive" refers to a play or other work of art that is written in English and uses an English language. It is often used when discussing plays in which the author has chosen a specific dialect or style of English for their writing. This style can be considered more professional and polished than standard American English. The term was first used by William Shakespeare in his play "Hamlet" to describe the language he used in his dramatic works, such as "Hamlet."
