Context for New Word
![Screenshot of context where found generative](/assets/media/new-words-screenshot-generative.jpg)
While reading Gergen (2015) I came across generative as a new word.
I was preparing to create these pages and so I was trying to find an interesting word in one of my recent readings.
The following are the words that are in the New Word Project: The definition for this word taken from the Terminology app, which is based on the Princeton University’s WordNet lexical database. If you are interested in how I created this resource and how I add new words to it, you can see my blog post Title of Blog Post.
