A tabular concordant pluton is a sill.A Sill is a flat concordant pluton. And a tabular means flat, like a table or tablet. Thus a sill is a tabular concordant pluton.In fact a the wikipedia article for "sill (geology)", as of the 01:33, 19 February 2009 update by Vsmith, read " a sill is a tabular pluton that has intruded between older layers of sedimentary rock, beds of volcanic lava or tuff, or even along the direction of foliation in metamorphic rock." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sill_(geology)

Discordant
A discordant intrusion is known as a dyke. A larger intrusion may also be a pluton or batholith, which both also cut across rock strata. A sill is an intrusion which is concordant, and goes between the strata. This does not necessarily mean that it is horizontal.

Yes they are. Dikes are tabular discordant bodies that are produced when magma is injected into fractures and Sills are tabular plutons formed when magma is injected along sedimentary bedding surfaces.
