Strukturalizm a lingwistyka funkcjonalna
Structuralism and functional linguistics

Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the relationship between two directions in modern linguistics, the structural and the functional. The author critically appreciates the commonly held opinion about the opposition of these linguistic paradigms, and shows that structuralism largely bases on a functional analysis. Structuralism was a continuation of the functional approach, which diffused across the humanities in the 19th century, and it is from this perspective that the present paper discusses structuralist studies in the fields of lexicology, morphology, and syntax. Particular attention is paid to the functional aspects of distributional analysis, and to integrative approaches in structural linguistics.
