title: [The holistic base of functional morphology (author's transl)].
abstract: Following v.d. Klaauw a functional component (fc) is the complex of a function and its constituent morphological features. The relation between form and function within a fc and, especially, the interrelations (pattern, compromise, integration) of the fc's constitutes the field of holistic functional morphology. The methodology of this approach is discussed.
