Where can I find an exhaustive list of the formal fallacies of definition. I need this for my work, for controlling the content of data dictionaries and data models. This class of definitions has to be real, not nominal. Thanks in advance, Malcolm C.

There is a very good entry on definitions in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (on-line), and a pretty good review of the various fallacies of definition in Wikipedia.

Happy hunting!
