Linguistic norm, Sociology, Sociolinguistics, Standard languageAbstract
The intention of this article is to reflect on the concepts of norm and linguistic norm. The text begins by showing how the reflections of Social Sciences, particularly Sociology, may be fruitful for defining the concept of norms in the area of Linguistics, as the latter turned its attention to this concept later than the other disciplines. The main conceptualizations proposed in Linguistics are then presented. Finally, attention is given to the concept of standard language, whose definition still varies from one author to another. In this way, the paper brings several clues to deepen the reflection on the subject and hopes to contribute to its relevance as an object of scientific research.
