Abstract

Although Functional-Typological Grammar (FTG), as stated in Givón (1979, 1984, 1989, 1990. 1993, 1995), has contributed to the redefinition of Saussure 'S concepts of diachronic and synchrony, its contribution to the cognitive paradigm is less important. After dealing with several methodological and pre-theoretical aspects, two main conclusions are drawn in this paper: first, FTG is psychologically adequate, even though Givón follows the cognitive tradition rather than making any significant contributions; and, second, E-TG achieves psychological adequacy at the methodological level, but not at the theoretical one.
