Language errors and dynamics of language norms

Article preview

The gradual erosion of standards in the modern Russian language is a dangerous tendency. Error may eventually acquire the status of normativity, when the phenomenon fits into the language system, not contradict it. Non-obvious, hardly seen micro  violations  at  various  linguistic levels, as well as in borrowing (expansion and narrowing of word meaning) slightly distort the norm and often are not immediately recognized as an error.
