Understanding Syntax in Linguistics
Syntax, originating from Greek meaning arrangement, deals with the structure of sentences in a language. Generative Grammar, coined by Noam Chomsky, uses rules akin to mathematics to create new, grammatically accurate sentences. By applying recursion and deep structure analysis, linguists explore th

Overview of Grammar Types and Chomsky Hierarchy
The four types of grammars are General, Context-Sensitive, Context-Free, and Linear grammars, each recognizing a specific set of languages. Chomsky Hierarchy categorizes these grammars into four levels, indicating subsets of languages they can recognize. Context-free grammars have specific productio
