EXPLAIN CHOMSKY TO ME OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! DON'T DUMB IT DOWN INTO SOME VAGUE SHIT! EXPLAIN CHOMSKY TO ME RIGHT NOW OR I'LL LITERALLY FUCKING KILL YOu! WHAT THE FUCK IS A GENERATIVE GRAMMAR? WHAT THE FUCK ARE CONTEXT-FREE GRAMMARS? DON'T DUMB IT DOWN OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU
I didn't study linguistics but I covered this in Computer Science and Philosophy of Language a long time ago. Here's my half remembered explanation:
A generative grammar is a set of rules for generating valid sentences in a language. So you start with a single symbol , and applying the rules (which basically tell you how and when you can replace symbols with other symbols) generates new sequences of symbols. A given sequence of symbols is a valid sentence if and only if it can be generated from the starting symbol by a series of applications of the rules of the grammar.

Thanks for trying. Not entirely sure I really got that, but thanks nonetheless
