The dominant formal theory is Transformational-Generative grammar, represented first and foremost by Noam Chomsky, but the origin of the dominant functional theory is less certain.
The Functional Grammar (FG) represented by Simon Dik of the University of Amsterdam is influential in Europe and was perhaps the first attempt to write a full-fledged grammar as an alternative to Chomsky's Standard Theory treatment of coordinate structures.
Such a grammar in its computational form was originally implemented in the "Fenman" project at the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California, under the direction of William C.

 Robotic Poetics: looking down a microscope through a telescope
The focus of this talk is on text generation, although computer-generated artistic effects are found in every medium, and pose, I believe, the same underlying questions.
Generation has two fundamental dimensions: implementation (display) and abstract logic (grammar).
The half-serious Jan's fridge door is "groupware" ("a multi-person collaborative whiteboarding environment") where subjectivities merge in collective graffiti, but the potential of that interaction is delimited by the computer.

 Edge: A TALK WITH GEORGE LAKOFF [page 2]
Back in 1963, semantics meant logic - deductive logic and model theory - and our group developed a theory of Generative Semantics that united formal logic and transformational grammar.
These results convinced me that the entire thrust of research in generative linguistics and formal logic was hopeless.
LAKOFF: My really early work was done between 1963 and 1975, when I was pursuing the theory of Generative Semantics.

 Sociolinguistica - Boylan - Register
Linguistics -- especially the 'generative' kind -- has been a bit glib and naive in jumping from data sets to the language as a whole and skipping over the types as theoretically unimportant (or, what is more to the point, unmanageable).
In some cases, the students were themselves accredited users in the register, as for the projects on the discourse in pool-hall gambling or in a certain 'fraternity' house, or the social 'small-talk' among users of university VAX computer system ('VAXers').
In Firth's work, a possible equivalent of 'register' might be the 'restricted language', which he defined as 'serving a circumscribed field of experience or action' and having 'its own grammar and dictionary' (1957: 124, 87, 98, 105f, 112).

 Cognitive Anthropology
However, this study of elements rather than relational systems failed to reveal a generative cultural grammar for any culture, and while generating elaborate taxonomies, failed to discover any internal cultural workings that could be compared internally or externally.
Ethnoscientists attempted to discern how people construe their world from the way they label and talk about it (Keesing 1972:306).
According to Keesing (1972:307) the so-called "new ethnography" was unable to move beyond the analysis of artificially simplified and often trivial semantic domains.

 Anatomy of a Revolution in the Social Sciences
No such term can be found, for example, in Bierwisch (1971), the noted linguist and very early and steadfast proponent of transformational-generative grammar.
It has become common-place to talk about a 'Chomskyan Revolution' in the study of language, with the result that few, if any, would pause to think about what the term 'revolution' implies or is taken to imply.
To do justice to historical fact, it should be remembered that --- like Curtius, who in 1885 felt that the Neogrammarians had embarked on a course that constituted a break with the past (cf.
