Since "descripted" is a traditional term for "described" (used in legal circles for legally-binding documents and instruments), it seems logical to me that "descripted discourse" is probably communication or linguistics that have been described and annotated, according to certain parameters for the purpose of "discourse analysis." (See Wikipedia definition and branches of the science of discourse analysis.) It stands to reason that before an analyst can study communication and linguistic patterns, those patterns and methods of discourse must be described. Of course, no scientist worth her/his salt would merely say their experiment described the conversation between two people in order to study the patterns -- the term would be scientifically descripted discourse. Just a guess, but it sounds good, doesn't it?

What is prescriptive discourse?

Prescriptive discourse is any discourse that promotes what should be thought, spoken, or done. For example, the sentence 'That window is open' normally expresses a certain descriptive thought (proposition, statement), namely, that that window is open. By way of contrast, the sentence "You should open that window" would normally be used to tell someone what to do, to prescribe a certain action. So prescriptive discourse is normative discourse. It is discourse about what ought to be the case rather than descriptive discourse about what is the case.
