Abstract: Term has the dual attributes in language and science. Terminology work is a continuum that contains terms' generation, selection, definition and knowledge-based. Lexicalization may partly explain the generation of terms, while definition and knowledge-based of terms show how can term be defined. Generation and definition of terms indicate the unique nature of terminology, and help us to clarify the scope and potential value of terminology research.

Key words: term, word, generation, definition, lexicalization
