The article is dedicated to the study of the notion of French orthoepic norm, the problem of its
definition and mechanisms of its formation. The notion of the norm is rather ambiguous and its different aspects
are usually highlighted by scientists when giving its definition. Generally they mark out three principal
dimensions in the notion of the norm: the objective norm, the subjective norm and the axiological norm. In
conditions of community development, continuous linguistic and social changes, interdependent and interacting,
the norm is a fundamental regulator of speech activity. It is clear that normative speech is the obligatory sign of
well-educated, cultured person and the culture of sounding speech is an important aspect of national culture
such as the culture of written word, communication or social life in general. The orthoepic French norm has
been evolved in the process of French language development. It is absolutely related to historical, social and
culture processes. The norms are not invented by philologists, they reflect a certain stage of literary language
development. In the article the role of the norm and its place in the language is defined and norm evolution in
the process of language establishment and development is considered.
