chris2010 Is the below mentioned sentence grammatically correct?"Unfortunately, the immense benefits have long been missed, and the practice, for many, seems insignificant. "

It's O.K. grammatically.

There are two main clauses with their subjects ("the immense benefits" and "the practice") with their verbs respectively ("have been missed" and "seems"), with adverbials ("Unfortunately" and "long") and adjectival modifiers ("immense" and "insignificant") rightly placed. The preposition phrase "for many" preceded and followed by commas and the sentence adverb "Unfortunately" is correctly followed by a comma as well.

Why don't you just call them adverbs and adjectives?

Because they are function words when parsing.
