This entry discusses each of the above-mentioned parts of speech in detail with examples and points out which aspects of each part of speech in English can be difficult for English learners, while providing suggestions for pedagogical materials on these topics. Corpus linguistics provides further understanding of how parts of speech are used by allowing us to see patterns of use over many speakers and genres. Neuroscientific research provides a still incomplete understanding of the correlation between parts of speech and brain structure, but the organization of many grammar books by parts of speech reflects that learning about different parts of speech in English can be helpful for learners.
Each part of speech is best defined not by the meaning of the word in question but rather by the syntactic relationship of the word to other words in the sentence. The parts of speech that are generally most helpful for English teaching are noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and determiner.
