PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF THE LINGUISTIC NORM CATEGORY

Abstract

This scope of this paper is to identify those philosophical
categories that allow the analysis of the mechanisms
behind the linguistic norm concept. The key philosophical
notions that help to identify mechanisms of linguistics rules
are time and motion because applying these notions to the
analysis of the linguistic norm concept allows to completely
grasp the concept. Through the use of philosophical categories
of time and motion, linguists are able to establish the
relationship between the linguistic norm and other linguistic
concepts such as relationship between the norm and the system
and use, variation, the notion of linguistic taste, as well as
categories such as communication, discourse, and text.
Dynamic theory of norm, which helps to explain mechanisms
of the linguistic norm category, also involves these
philosophical concepts, because without their use it is impossible
to explain the statics and dynamics of this phenomenon.
Philosophical level of the linguistic norm category determines
the content of extralinguistic and linguistic levels of
linguistic norm.
