definicji

Definicji to genitive singular forms of the Polish noun definicja, the word used to refer to the definition in grammar and syntax. It appears in phrases such as brak definicji (there is no definition) or w definicji terminu (in the definition of a term), indicating possession, relation, or a component within a sentence. As a grammatical form it is common in written Polish and in formal styles.

Definicja, the concept, is a statement that assigns a meaning to a term or explains the essence of a concept. The primary purpose of a definition is to enable clear understanding, precise communication, and the correct use of terms within a discourse. Definitions help distinguish a term from other related concepts and provide a basis for comparison, classification, and argumentation. In different domains, definitions may serve varied roles—from lexical definitions in dictionaries to theoretical or operational definitions in science and philosophy.

In practice, definitions are often categorized by purpose and method. Common types include lexical (or nominal) definitions, which describe how a word is used; real definitions, which aim to describe the nature or essence of the thing; and operational definitions, which specify how a concept is to be measured or demonstrated. Definiciones used in philosophy and logic may also be framed to clarify boundaries between concepts.

Good definitions share several criteria: they should be clear and unambiguous, concise yet complete, non-circular, and non-contradictory. They should avoid excessive inclusions or exclusions and be open to verification or falsification. In dictionaries, encyclopedias, and scholarly works, carefully constructed definicji support accurate interpretation and robust argumentation.
