German term or phrase: Topos der höheren (präskriptiven) Normbewusstheit
From a paper on language awareness:


(das Projekt) "bietet eine Möglichkeit, den
romanistischen Topos der höheren (präskriptiven) Normbewusstheit der „Franzosen“ im
Gegensatz zu den übrigen romanischen Sprachgemeinschaften...... im
Hinblick auf die Bewertung nicht-nativer Kompetenz einer kritischen Überprüfung zu
unterziehen."

I'm thinking of keeping topos in the English, but am wondering whether in English it is just has literary connotations rather than academic literature. Can anyone help me here?
