I find the statement is true for either object oriented or functional programming.

As someone who has done both extensively, I find that the patterns are still applicable to both. The presentation is very different, but still viable. For instance, you might use recursion to traverse data over a for-loop, but that doesn't inherently change the concept of a data "structure".

No matter what, we're still speaking in design patterns and if we share that common language, we can apply it to a domain and solve the larger problems of our day-to-day.

If you want more examples of this, look up Data Driven Development, but also append Haskell or C++ to your search queries, you'll find they repeat the same concepts in two very different "grammars"... ahem... I mean "languages".
