The correct answer is FALSE.

Traditional grammar is one of the main sources of study for structural linguistics. For example, Ferdinand De Saussure, one of the fathers of modern linguistics, was a structuralist.

Structuralism focuses on the structure of sentences and regards language as a system of signs whereas functionalism, focusing in text and its function, regards language as a system of choices. One of the main exponents in functionalism is Halliday.
