Generative grammar is a theory of grammar that aims to describe the implicit knowledge that speakers of a language have about the structure and formation of sentences in their language. The concept is primarily associated with the work of linguist Noam Chomsky, who introduced it in the 1950s. In generative grammar, a set of rules or principles is proposed that can generate the infinite number of sentences that a speaker can understand or produce.
