Generative grammarGenerative grammar is a conceptual model whose central tenet is that language is a property for which human beings are biologically prewired.The name ‘generative grammar’ is used to refer to this model since speakers are assumed to possess a grammar capable of generating all the possible sentences in their language (while excluding all the impossible ones). |
