Summary/Abstract: Contemporary times dominated by technologies create a new image of a man communicating in the information society. The situation requires another view on the linguistic norm. The analysis is focused on how to handle the norm in the categories of skills: linguistic, social, pragmatic and communicative. What the norm also includes is the criteria of functionality, variability and dynamics. There are changes and shifts going on within communication. They bring about changes in the language norm criteria. The notion of norm acquires a special meaning in written texts, internet ones, as they characterize with: lack of the border between a creator, a critic and a repetitive follower, a verbal process transforming into an image making one, an unstable, fragmentary text, economy of linguistic means, language creativity, appearance of English forms, functionality of linguistic means, the change of the esthetic criterion, the change of identifying function of language. Such texts need the user to work out new linguistic and communicative competence which would cover the following 4 areas: linguistic, pragmatic, discursive and strategic.
