Hi Technical Communicators:

What do you call the different syntax elements of a programming
language? I need a term that would cover class definitions, object
declarations, function declarations, if-then-else statements, loops,
etc.

The programmers I work with have suggested the following, but I'm not
sure which one's appropriate.

constructs
structures
forms
productions
statements
expressions

I would appreciate any suggestions. Please reply to me directly since
I receive the list in digest format. I'll post a summary if anyone
else is interested.

Thanks,
Jon Herrera
