Copy or body copy -
Main bulk of text
Tracking -
reducing space uniformly between all characters in a line

Kern: to squeeze together characters, for a better fit of strokes and white space.
In display type, characters almost always need to be kerned because the white space between characters at large sizes is more noticeable.
