Transformational Grammar is another name for Transformational Generative Grammar, which is a language analysis method. It depicts the link between the many aspects of a sentence and the potential sentences in the English language, as well as the method or procedures that are referred to as sentence transformations to convey semantics using ‘surface structures' and 'deep structure.'
