Terminological definition of the terms ?Pinge“(Binge)

摘要

The paper comprehensively analyses the montane concept of pinge (ping). It points to the origin of the word pinge and its primarymeaning in historical - medieval mining. The main part of the paper is concerned with the evaluation of the conceptual terminologicalinaccuracy of the word pinge and analyses the individual historical montane shapes in detail. These shapes are often terminologicallyinterchanged with pingen and also inaccurately considered pingen. These are surface concave montane shapes of relief in general, i.e.,verhau, shurf, sinks, depressions, etc. These shapes have fundamentally different morphological and morphometrical properties andparameters, considering the different genesis of their origin. Nevertheless, these basic properties, which are not interchangeable were notconsidered in different scientific disciplines and were regarded as pingen. This part of the paper also evaluates the basic properties ofpingen based on their relation to the relief and landscape, which must be studied from anthropogenic geomorphology and miningengineering. Final part of this paper offers the results of the research based on the analysis of medieval and modern archive sources, theoldest montane papers, the latest scientific studies and field research, which unequivocally establish the meaning of pinge in miningengineering (montane anthropogenic geomorphology), which is acceptable for all scientific disciplines concerned with this unique shape.A part of the final discussion is the exact definition of the term pinge and its meticulous delimitation.
