    Abstract
    As part of their work, terminologists need to find "knowledge-rich contexts," which are contexts that provide information about semantic relations between concepts in specialized domains. One way of finding these contexts is to search for lexical patterns that have the potential to reveal underlying semantic relations. Consequently, terminology researchers are in the process of compiling inventories of useful lexical patterns so that these can be programmed into specialized information retrieval tools. However, one factor that has not yet been addressed is the impact that different language varieties can have on these lexical patterns. This paper provides an overview of the research done to date on lexical patterns, presents a pilot study investigating the impact of language varieties, and considers applications of this work outside the discipline of terminology.

    Abstract
    It has often been suggested that terms are not prone to variation. Moreover, many standardizing organizations and terminology textbooks take a prescriptive approach to term formation and use in which they disparage variation. However, we believe that variation is not due to arbitrariness or carelessness, but rather that it is well-motivated and useful in expert discourse. We hypothesize that multidimensional classification is one of the determining factors behind term choice and we present an empirical study of the influence of multidimensional classification on term use in which we examine variant terms in context in a one-million word corpus in the specialized subject field of optical scanning technology

    Abstract
    It has often been suggested that specialized terms are not prone to variation. Moreover, many standardizing organizations and terminology textbooks take a prescriptive approach to term formation and use in which they disparage variation. However, I believe that variation is not due to arbitrariness or carelessness, but rather, that it is well-motivated and useful in expert discourse. Terminologists and translators who are not aware of an expert's motivation for linguistic variation, risk distorting the intended meaning of a term or text. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present a corpus-based investigation into some of the underlying patterns of terminological variation in medical discourse.
