In what sense definitions may be true or false: Some remarks on the article of A. Pap's "Theory of definition"
The question on possibility to estimate definition as true or false is considered. It is shown that such estimation does not apply to definitions. Judgements or statements are true or false. The estimation of definitions is based on formal correctness or abnormality. The translation into Russian A.Papa's work «The Theory of Definitions» is presented in appendix.
