There are a number of different approaches to generative grammar. Common to all is the effort to come up with a set of rules or principles that formally defines each and every one of the members of the set of well-formed expressions of a natural language. The term generative grammar has been associated with at least the following schools of linguistics:
- Transformational grammar (TG)
- Standard Theory (ST)
- Extended Standard Theory (EST)
- Revised Extended Standard Theory (REST)
- Principles and Parameters Theory (P&P)
- Government and Binding Theory (GB)
- Minimalist Program (MP)
- Monostratal (or non-transformational) grammars
- Relational Grammar (RG)
- Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG)
- Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (GPSG)
- Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG)
- Categorial Grammar
- Tree-Adjoining Grammar
