N2 - This paper presents a wordlist-based lexical richness approach to testing distributional hypothesis for genre analysis in translation studies. In recent years, there has been continuing interest in patent translation. However, there are only a few lay their interests on comparison between native and non-native writing. The proposed approach to terms distrubution of technical words contained in United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and Japan Patent Office (JPO) in terms of lexical variation, lexical density and lexical sophistication, in brief, highlights distributional similarity of technical genre, and in particular, distibutional difference of academic and general genres.
