“Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.”
— Noam Chomsky
Simplified Meaning:
Using language is like creating something new; rules exist, but how people use and understand those rules can vary a lot. Even the way we understand and use words is a creative process.
