Some words
are used in everyday life so often that peoples don’t ponder about
their initial meaning conditioned by their etymology. We say that it
is trivial, naïve about such pattern of the World. But forming the
scientific pattern it has been treated to terms/notions meaning more
accurate since it makes the principal “salience”, embossment of
the semantic space. The same time the sharp deviation of the
scientific notions from their worldly/etymological senses that impart
its eidetic nature is not permitted. In the scientific variants these
terms became the notions. Such terms (for different languages) are
“landscape” (“scenery”,
“paysage”, “panorama”, “crayobraz” so on), “relief”,
“terrain” (“pays”,
“luogo”), “facies”
and others that are the terms of general use
including the art. So geographers have neglected the nature of
landscape for a long time. Here I want to state some views about
landscape phenomenon (relief is often interpreted as landscape) as a
geographical appearance first of all. In the base of this the view of
A. Humboldt, F. Ratcel, many Russian geography-travellers of 19th –
beginning of 20th century and modern science as an ordinary
interpretation of such word as “landscape”, “relief”,
“terrain” and
so on.
