Formalism: Noam Chomsky and his Generative Grammar
Main Article Content
Abstract
For six decades generative concept dominated syntactic theory. The work on generative rules cannot simplify the concepts of the normative principles of the rules, but rather that the subject matter of the rules be considered normative. Grammar is a way to express phrases in their correct form. Grammar rules are accurate by the way they are formulated in a specific type that does not include generative grammar. The term "generative" is directly related to Noam Chomsky's tradition of grammatical research. This term and its formalities and terminology have been studied extensively within the Chomsky tradition.
