It reveals the notion "norm", gives a socio-historical perspective of linguistic normativity. The author deals with the issues of "correct" and "good" English from the sociolinguistic point of view and quotes different linguists’ opinions. It is shown that written language norms are not always appropriate for speech, and the notion "normativity" is relative in this case.
