CONVERSATIONAL DEFINITIONS MODELS: A LOGICAL NAD GRAMMATIC PERSPECTIVE
The paper presents two models of colloquial definitions. Conditionally-temporal model (N1 - eto kogda ...) with the meaning of ‘the subject and characteristic by the condition of existence’ - a colloquial definition, in which the name is determined using the functor eto kogda (it is when) and the utterances the structure of which corresponds to one or more subordinate units with complex sentence unverbalized main clause. Constructions of this type are found in the the late 19th century Russian prose. They are common in modern colloquial speech and Internet communication. Complement model (N 1 / Pron - eto pro (it is about) N 4 ) with the meaning ‘the subject and characteristics by its informative content’ - colloquial definition, in which the name is determined by a functor and other name. Structures of this type are typical of modern Russian colloquial speech and oral communication in the media
