Summary/Abstract: One of the theoretical legacies left by Eugenio Coseriu in works such as Synchrony, Diachrony and History is the establishment of a concept of norm derived from linguistic theory and applicable to the theory of language. Through this, the contributions of the same made it possible to understand the norm as an act and a product that comes from the intrinsic relationship between the individual and his language. With the present text it is desired to contribute to the theoretical extension of the Coserian concept of norm in linguistics by contrasting it with that of Luis Fernando Lara, with the aim of observing the way in which both linguistics per se and sociolinguistics can study this scientific term in its application in multicultural fields of study. For this, linguistic attitudes will be used to incorporate new ways of conceiving the norm in social contexts and the way in which they delimit and reduce the linguistic system.
