size of text when determining color contrast

Hello,
When testing contrast of text on background, WCAG 2.0 refers to "normal" and "large" text. What defines these sizes? I'm especially wondering in the context of responsive web design, where what is large on a PC may not be so large on a smart phone.

Thank you for any guidance.
