The current definition of CRPG is character RPG. These games are ones that focus more on character development and dialogue as opposed to combat. Planetscape: Torment is the example I am most familiar with, as you can play the entire game through dialogue and only fight when required. Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights are close to CRPGs, but progression is still done through combat.
They stand in opposition to JRPGs, ARPGs, and MMORPG.
