Formation and transformation of the category linguistic norm along with development of the culture of speech

Abstract

This paper is devoted to understanding the origins of notion «linguistic norm» and analyzing its structure.
Rising attention to the category of «linguistic norm» in the culture of speech in the early 20th century was
due to several reasons. It was caused by changes in the social life of Russian society, by the doubts about the
ability to regulate language processes, by the awareness of need to establish relationships between the dichotomy
«system-norm».
Due to its heterogeneity, the category of «linguistic norm» can be fully understood only through an integrated
approach that includes consideration of the philosophical, extralinguistic and intralinguistic levels.
At the present stage of development of speech one observes expansion of the concept of «linguistic norm»,
which is interpreted not only as a model, but as a pragmatic category.
