The Confusion of Functional Grammar and Head Driven Phrase Structure

There's a lot of people who believe a different brand of generative series like LFG and HPSG that we're talked about. Like some functional grammar and head driven phrase structure. And so for me it was always at the forefront that there was this sort of conflict. It became more like look there's a good functional explanation or there's aGood formal explanation. But I'll put that aside for a second because so many hypotheses in our field seem to be untestable and unfalsifiable, which is what Taylor was talking about. He said give me a testable theory. I don't care if it's functionalist or generative is. You can embed functionalist explanations
