语域：formal 常见场景：academic writing、linguistics、law、philosophy 通常用于正式或学术语境，表示‘规范的、标准的’；在日常口语中不太常见，多见于学科讨论或书面表达。
Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhyme exactly with normative /ˈnɒːmətiv/. Formative is the closest in spelling but typically has /ɔː/ instead of /ɒː/ in the stressed syllable. Creative shifts stress to the second syllable, and positive has a short /ɒ/ in the first syllable. Treat the -ative spelling as unreliable for pronunciation.
