What does it mean that language is generative?

Language is always evolving $-$ there is no right way to speak a language, and no language has always been spoken a certain way. Change and variation are fundamental to what a language is$,$ and it is always growing to match communication needs and preferences of the people who use it$.$

Language history matters $-$ it is important to know how things have always been done by a certain linguistic group or community in order to decide how to use language respectfully while still making it your own

There is no right way to speak a language because our pronunciation is tied to how we think of ourselves, so we have to just respect people's differences.

Vocabulary is standardized, but phonetics can be used however the speaker wants.

New languages are always being created

Languages are generic and used all over the world the same way
