The diploma thesis examines language users' attitudes towards linguistic norm and changes in codification. The first section presents the theoretical background of the main concepts of normativity; presents the key reactions to Slovenian orthographies in the past; it also describes the revision of orthographic rules in the upcoming volume Pravopis 8.0 [Orthography 8.0]. The empirical section presents the results of a survey, whose purpose was to obtain the opinions of language users on orthography handbooks and their revisions.
