| Generative grammar: Generative grammar describes how language is generated in the human mind. It is based on the idea that humans have an innate knowledge of the rules of grammar, which allows them to produce and understand an infinite number of sentences. One of the key features of generative grammar is the distinction between competence and performance. see also Grammar, Competence, Performance, Innateness, Language, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
