    Generative grammar is concerned with the possible sentences of a language. It operates over a finite vocabulary of units using a set of recursive rules to generate an infinite set of well-formed strings. The key properties are that it recursively generates well-formed sentences from a finite vocabulary and the distinction between non-terminal and terminal elements.
