The following concepts are discussed: covariance, invariance, the general, special, and kinematic principles of relativity, coordinate systems and frames of reference, and the energy--momentum tensor of the gravitational field. The relationships between the three canonical theories of gravitation are considered. The theory of the affine connection as applied to these questions is presented. Attention is drawn to inconsistency in terminology and the need for an explanatory dictionary for gravitational specialists. A contribution to the compilation of such a dictionary is made.
