Description
The two basic approaches to linguistics are the formalist and the functionalist approaches. In this work, Frederick J. Newmeyer, a formalist, argues that both approaches are valid. However, because formal and functional linguists have avoided direct confrontation, they remain unaware of the compatibility of their results. One of the author's goals is to make each side more accessible to the other.
