A Glossary of Terms Including a Classification of Typing Errors

A common terminology is essential when working in any area, and the study of typing is no exception. To aid ourselves and others, we have compiled a glossary of basic definitions useful in the description of the phenomena of typing. The glossary, which also contains a categorization of errors, has proved useful in several ways. Not only does it keep our terms consistent, but it has provided a framework for the description and classification of a number of typing errors. We hope this glossary will be of independent use, perhaps leading to standardization of the typing terms used throughout the typing literature.
