The phenomenon of generativity is one piece of evidence against the theory that language is acquired via principles of learning. what does generativity refer to?

Children compose sentences they have never heard before.

Explanation:

Generative Language can be defined as an innate ability to compose and understand sentences that have never been heard or said before. This principle of Generative Language or Generative Grammar was theorized by Noam Chomsky in 1957 in his book titled "Syntactic Structures."

He theorized that people are born with an innate ability to understand and acquire their native language. Chomsky believed that children are born with this innate language potentiality that further needs to be polished by learning words.

He named this innate ability to acquire language 'universal grammar' which suggests that humans are born wired with the ability to understand and compose the language.

Thus generativity refers that children can form sentences that they have never heard before.

freeborn women in ancient rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by roman historians. but while roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history range from lucretia and claudia quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce republican-era women such as cornelia, mother of the gracchi, and fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the julio-claudian dynasty, most prominently livia (58 bc-ad 29), who contributed to the formation of imperial mores; and the empress helena (c.250–330 ad), a driving force in promoting christianity.

women in the ancient greek world had few rights in comparison to male citizens. unable to vote, own land, or inherit, a woman’s place was in the home and her purpose in life was the rearing of children. this, though, is a general description, and when considering the role of women in ancient greece one should remember that information regarding specific city-states is often lacking, is almost always from male authors, and only in athens can their status and role be described in any great detail. neither are we sure of the practical and everyday application of the rules and laws that have survived from antiquity. we do know that spartan women were treated somewhat differently than in other states. for example, they had to do physical training like men, were permitted to own land, and could drink wine.
