Aksiološka i vremenska dimenzija jezične norme

Sažetak

The article deals with the analysis of the language norm – an important concept of the general theory of a language and the main category of the language culture as a direction of linguisti­cs. The prescriptive norm is differentiated as an ideal, codified norm, which regulates the rules of use of linguistic means, and the descriptive norm as a model of real functioning of multilevel language units. In the historical aspect, attention is drawn to the existence of a symbolic norm, which embodies the connection with folk traditions, national self-awareness and a pragmatic norm, which subordinates the means of language to a certain communicative goal. Attention is drawn to the dynamics of the literary norm in connection with the internal potential of the system and socio-cultural factors.
