= Generative semantics
{wiki=Generative_semantics}
Generative semantics is a theoretical framework in the field of linguistics that emerged in the 1970s, primarily associated with the work of scholars such as Barbara Partee, Richard Montague, and others. This approach focuses on the relationship between syntax (the structure of sentences) and semantics (the meaning of sentences) in language. It posits that the meaning of a sentence can be generated directly from its syntactic structure through a set of rules and principles.
