The parallel correspondence architecture of LFG provides an account which is more illuminating and theoretically more economical than that available to approaches which mediate all aspects of grammatical structure through a single set of syntactic categories and projections. Both categories and functions are seen to have their own diachronic profiles and the changes they exhibit over time do not necessarily proceed in parallel. More generally, the paper aims to show how both synchronic and diachronic data are relevant to the construction of theories about the structure and organization of human languages.
