Based on original research and novel concepts, this book
investigates the nature and use of terminology from linguistic and
applied viewpoints. Throughout, problems with terminology, such as
overuse by teachers and cases of synonymy and polysemy, are
considered and solutions are offered. Part One looks firstly at
some basic concepts, then draws important distinctions between
pedagogic and scientific terminology, and between transparent,
opaque and iconic terms, before examining the historical, lexical
and grammatical nature of terms. Part Two attempts to estimate the
value and relevance of terminology in language teaching and
describes the use and knowledge of terminology in various
language-teaching-related constituencies: learners, teachers,
textbooks, grammars and research. It concludes with a discussion of
the criteria for evaluating terms and an analysis of terms used in
ELT.
From Words to Grammar is a different introduction to grammar for
students. Taking a word-based approach to grammar, this innovative

includes: an introduction to the grammar of each word; examples of
real world usage featuring that word; exercises with answers. This
unique approach not only introduces students to grammar but also
provides them with an understanding of how grammar works in
everyday English. Written by an experienced teacher and author,

Grammar is integral to teaching English as a second language, and
yet there is often a disconnect between theory and practice. This
book bridges that gap by introducing key theories of English
grammar and showing how they can be applied in teaching. By drawing
on an eclectic range of sources, and using a multidisciplinary
approach, Berry links advances in our knowledge of grammar, from
theoretical and descriptive viewpoints, with developments in
pedagogical practices, to provide a comprehensive overview of the
whole process of grammar. The second part of the book contains four
case studies of key areas of English grammar in which the insights
of the earlier chapters are applied, illustrating how grammar
theory is used in practice. Offering new insights into the way
English grammar works, this book is invaluable for all
professionals who 'do' English grammar: teachers, grammarians,
textbook writers and syllabus designers, testers and researchers.
