Definitely related to surface anistrophy, but why is uncertain. Analogy is a bag of marbles. Massive - lacking anisotropic fabric on outcrop scale. Granoblastic - lacking anisotropic fabric at the thin section level. Results in foliation.
Examples are schistosity and slaty cleavage.
Rather rare by itself. Obviously mineralogy is a dominant factor in determining if a rock will be lineated or foliated. For example, quartz sandstone will probably never be foliated regardless of stress. Shale will be foliated even if the directed pressure is only moderate. Porphyroblastic - containing large grains which grew during metamorphism.
