The Arabic Library is rich with researches in specialized dictionaries in different fields like medicine, engineering, psychology, etc. Nevertheless, it did not pay much attention to dictionaries of Geology. Therefore, this research (Lexicography of Specialized Dictionaries and Methods of Term Formation: Geology Dictionary of the Arabic Language Academy as an Example) is meant to address an important dictionary in Geology, which is the Geology Dictionary of the Arabic Language Academy (1982), to illustrate the methodology of lexicography in specialized dictionaries and methods of forming the scientific-especially geological-Arabic term in it. The research follows the descriptive approach with lexicography and its procedures to tackle lexicography process in the dictionary. Besides, the research uses terminology to illustrate methods of term formation in the dictionary, and indicate the most used & accurate terms. In addition, the research discusses the usage of these terms considering the standardization issue. The research is divided into an introduction, a preface, and two parts: the first deals with lexicographic procedures in the dictionary, and the second deals with methods of forming scientific terms in it. The research achieved a number of results, including: the dictionary inclusion of many synonyms in the entries, whether in English or Arabic terms, the dictionary interest in conveying the image of what terms indicate through various methods like description, and listing their shapes and images after each section and diversity of methods of term formation in the dictionary, between derivation, translation, borrowing, blending, and compounding of its various types.
