Norms are as essential to communication as language itself – so much so that any basic definition of language or communication must take norms fully into account. Some norms, such as those formulated as linguistic taboos, are explicit, but most are implicit, firmly but flexibly guiding virtually all aspects of everyday language use while remaining outside of speakers' awareness. Violation of norms tends to make them more readily discernible and often elicits strong corrective (if not punitive) responses. Although relatively stable and durable, norms of communication vary considerably from one community to another, and they change over time. Norms may also be modified intentionally as a means of initiating or accelerating other kinds of social change
