Generative linguistics Generative linguistics The Chomsky hierarchy is a containment hierarchy of classes of formal grammars that generate formal languages. This hierarchy of these grammars which are also called phrase structure grammars was described by Noam Chomsky in 1956 (see
Deep grammar is a mistaken conflation of the terms " Deep Structure" and " Universal Grammar," which appear in the work of Noam Chomsky. ...more on Wikipedia about "Deep grammar"
In linguistics, and especially the study of syntax, the deep structure of a linguistic expression is a theoretical construct that seeks to unify several related observed forms. For example, the sentences "Pat loves Chris" and "Chris is loved by Pat" mean roughly the same thing and use similar words. Some linguists, in particular Noam Chomsky, have tried to account for this similarity by positing that these two sentences are distinct surface forms that were derived from an unobservable common source, the so-called deep structure underlying both sentences. ...more on Wikipedia about "Deep structure"
In linguistics, generative grammar generally refers to a proof-theoretical approach to the study of syntax partially inspired by formal grammar theory and pioneered by Noam Chomsky. A generative grammar is a set of rules that recursively "specify" or "generate" the well-formed expressions of a natural language. This encompasses a large set of different approaches to grammar. The term generative grammar is also broadly used to refer to the school of linguistics where this type of formal grammar plays a major part. ...more on Wikipedia about "Generative grammar"
Generative linguistics is a school of thought within linguistics that makes use of the concept of a generative grammar. The term "generative grammar" is used in different ways by different people, and the term "generative linguistics" therefore has a range of different, though overlapping, meanings. ...more on Wikipedia about "Generative linguistics"
Principles and parameters refers to a popular framework in generative linguistics. Principles and parameters was largely formulated by Noam Chomsky though many others have adopted the approach. ...more on Wikipedia about "Principles and parameters"
Transformational grammar is a broad term describing grammars (almost exclusively those of natural languages) which have been developed in a Chomskian tradition. The term is usually synonymous with the slightly more specific transformational-generative grammar (TGG). ...more on Wikipedia about "Transformational grammar"
