Which preposition requires 'definition'? Fri Nov 11, 2005 17:54 pm  Which preposition requires 'definition'?
 

Hello everybody!

The question is: which preposition requires word definition - definition for something or definition of something?

I have heard both forms, so which is correct, or both?

Thank you in advance for all your answers.

I think the word definition can require both prepositions but definition of is far more common. Just my opinion though...
