metadata.value: The definition of orthoepy as “a branch of linguistics that studies pronunciation norms”
  tends to determine the understanding of its tasks as exclusively prescriptive, and that
  of orthoepy as a whole as an applied area, par excellence. Its other component, purely
  linguistic, is present in the problem of the correlation between the system and the
  norm, traditionally central to the school of Lev Shcherba. In essence, this problem
  is a particular case of the Saussurian “language — speech” dichotomy, which is the
  reason for regarding orthoepy as a purely linguistic discipline and for discerning two
  points of view on its object, those “from within” and “from without.” The latter implies
  a conscious attitude towards the choice, from several possibilities, of one unit as a
  normative or “correct” with the establishment of the systemic status of this unit. This
  point of view on language, which emerged almost simultaneously with the awareness
  of it as an inherently human capacity (Plato), is reflected both in the early evidence
  of “language prestige” (Catullus, Cicero) and in the works of “intuitive linguists,”
  either relying on a certain norm (Alexandrian grammarians) or creating it (English
  orthoepists). In turn, the norm is synonymous to speech, which exists at a given
  synchronic stage; it changes either as a result of the alternative possibilities offered
  by the system (language dynamics) or due to the transition of the system to another
  synchronic stage (linguistic change per se), cf. Ludmila Verbitskaya’s formulation in The
  Linguistic Encyclopedic Dictionary: “The phonological system of a language completely
  determines the pronunciation norm. The norm can change within the system provided
  new forms gradually replace the old ones under the influence of extralinguistic factors
  or as a result of changes that have taken place in the system.” In this context, the
  primary task of interpreters of early orthoepic evidence (first of all, historians of language)
  is to identify factors belonging to two fundamentally different spheres. Ignoring
  this circumstance in the research procedures, characteristic of (chronologically or
  ideologically) pre–Saussurian (pre–Baudouin de Courtenay) linguistics, leads to a confusion
  of factors, including systemic and extra–linguistic ones, and, moreover, of the
  fundamental notions, (diachronic) change and (synchronic) variation, which, among
  other things, is reflected in the idea of ‘recent changes’ in the system (in fact, in the
  norm) and in the popular notion of “language in the state of (constant) flux.” On the
  contrary, the consistent differentiation, in research procedures, of different factors interacting
  in the functioning of language system, and thus discerning between the two
  points of view on it, “from within” and “from without,” makes orthoepy an integral part
  of linguistics as a fundamental science of language, providing theoretical justification
  for its applied component, the latter’s goals having been formulated, for all times, as
  a maxime to “speak properly and correctly.” Refs 29.
