Also known as speculative grammarians, modism, speculative grammar, modists

The Modistae (Latin for Modists), also known as the speculative grammarians, were the members of a school of grammarian philosophy known as Modism or speculative grammar, active in northern France, Germany, England, and Denmark in the 13th and 14th centuries. Their influence was felt much less in the southern part of Europe, where the somewhat opposing tradition of the so-called "pedagogical grammar" never lost its preponderance.

Os modistas (também chamados modistae ou gramáticos especulativos) foram os membros de uma escola de filosofia gramatical conhecida como Modismo, ativa no norte da França, Alemanha, Grã-Bretanha e Dinamarca nos séculos XIII e XIV. Sua influência foi muito menos sentida na parte sul da Europa, onde a tradição de oposição da assim chamada "gramática pedagógica" nunca perdeu sua preponderância.
