The fact is now accepted that specialised discourses do not deviate from the rules of language: variation in all its forms emerges from corpora. One of the questions that now arises is that of “implementing” socioterminological data in terminological resources: how can sociolinguistic diversity be integrated into a descriptive program? After reviewing the types of variation, this article explores an approach to integrating some of these data into a terminographic ressource. This will provide an opportunity to discuss the question of the interface with the corpus, which is no longer confined to a descriptive objective, but is likely to become a pivotal element of a database.
