Abstract: 
In this article I argue against Matthews (1981) claim about the impossibility
of deriving dependencies from constitution. Based on his claim, Matthews
defends that there is no strong equivalence between the corresponding theoretical
frames.
Contrary to that opinion, I start defending the evident connection between
weak and strong equivalencies, and weak and strong generative capacities, and I
point out the error that drives Matthews to his wrong hypothesis: he correctly
defines the notions of weak and strong equivalence, but he applies the latter
imperfectly. If strong equivalence consists not only in the generation of sequences,
but also in the attribution of an structural description to each sequence, such
descriptions give a knowledge of dependencial properties (at least, the most
important ones) mechanically, with the only exception of the descriptions referred
to sentences.
Summing up, I do not explicitly affirm the existence of a strong equivalence
between constitutional and derivational frameworks, but I demonstrate that in
order to deny such an equivalence arguments other than those of Matthews' are
required.
