Elementsof generative grammar:

literalLiteral text string: used exactly as it appears including font and special characters (e.g., space, newline, tab)

…Variable: replaced with specifics usually described within the angle brackets

/*…*/Comment: for information; does not generate anything

Constructs of generative grammar:

stringSequence of elements and/or constructs in any combination and order

[string]String is optional

{string}String may repeat any number of times after first iteration

string1|string2Choice list in which either string1 or string2 is used; list may be of any length

Examples of generative grammar rules:

  • <noun> <verb> [<object>]. generates sentences of a noun followed by a verb and optionally an object.
  • {0|1} generates strings of 1’s and 0’s of least one 1 or 0.
  • [{0|1}] generates either nothing or strings of 1’s and 0’s of least one 1 or 0.
  • {[0|1]} generates the same as the preceding example.
