In my book I am writing, I find I have the inconvenience of having to repeat the words "...the study of logical fallacies..." so often that I see the need to give it a nice short name.
But is there already such a name for this field of study?
I tried googling this but got nowhere although there is this;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy
IF (and ONLY if) there is NO special conventional name for this, I plan to give it the new word "falology" (obviously from the word fallacy) to mean this not only for my book but then hopefully, after publishing my book, that word would then become the new officially recognized name for it.
Incidentally, I have already so far invented 4 other "-ology" words for my book; disto-ology, twidology, tido-ology (not to be confused with the conventional word "tidology" ) and definology.
Definology is to be the name of the study and philosophy concerning what criteria or 'rules' should be used to determine whether a given proposed definition of a word or term is valid. But here I am assuming there already a conventional name for this "definology" field of study.
