The vagueness of the concept «normativity» is pointed out and the opinion is expressed that it is not easy to define in a precise way which of the needs mentioned ought to be the subject of normativity. The article concludes with a series of concrete examples which illustrate the concepts presented.18 p.application/pdfcat(c) Solà, Joan, 1940-2010, 1994LexicografiaLexicographyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article1095332019-12-17info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
