ON TECTONIC TERMINOLOGY
Abstract
In the first stage of this work it is essential to collect terms and systematize them. The second stage of the work must involve a comprehensive analysis of the systematized terms according to the following criteria: (1) the question of priority; (2) justification for making a distinction; (3) correctness of constructing the word; (4) history of the development of the concepts inherent in the terms; (5) perception of inadequacies and contradictions in the use of terms (indefiniteness, multiplicity of meanings, multiplicity of terms, mixing of different systems of terms, mixing with non- tectonic concepts, errors of translation, and so forth). As an example of such an analysis one may cite the discussion of the terms 'clastic dyke', 'facies' and terms defining rock bedding in the Tectonic Colloquium held at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics.
