In this article the outlines of a theory about the diachrony of textual norms are sketched. My notion of "textual norms" is somewhat related to the traditional concept of "genre" but "textual norm" is considered as more informative. The concept of "norm" does not refer first and foremost to the traditional regulatory, prescriptive norms or "should-norms" as they are sometimes called, but to the deeper and much more fundamental "constitutive" norms or "is-norms"; norms which for instance constitute a certain object or phenomena as a "text" or establish the border between what is considered "normal" behaviour in a culture and what is not.
