The aim of this article is to present the lexicogrammar of definition in LSC. First the importance of definition in science is highlighted. Then a presentation is made of the structure of definition in languages with a long scientific tradition exemplified in Spanish. Finally a sample of definitions produced by Deaf people before and after metalinguistic reflections are presented and analyzed in order to discover generalizations regarding definition in this language.
