formative (n.)

A formally identifiable, irreducible GRAMMATICAL ELEMENT which enters into the construction of larger LINGUISTIC UNITS, such as WORDS and SENTENCES. It has come to be used especially in GENERATIVE grammar, as an alternative to the term MORPHEME, for the TERMINAL elements in a SURFACE-STRUCTURE REPRESENTATION of a sentence. Several types of formative can be distinguished, depending on their role in sentence structure, e.g. ‘inflectional formatives’ (viz. INFLECTIONAL endings, etc.), ‘lexical formatives’ (viz. forms which enable one LEXICAL item to be derived from another, e.g. -tion).
