This article aims at contributing to the description and explanation of the relation between the degree of speciality of texts and the presence and treatment of terminology in them. The objective of the article is to demonstrate that the selection, treatment and variation of terms are conditioned by textual factors (basically, functionality, users and text type). The corpus is composed by different textual types corresponding to texts of different degrees of speciality - abstract, paper, interview and press news - all of them dealing with the same scientific event. The results of the analysis lead to reliable statements of interest to special texts studies on the one hand, and to terminology and its practice, of the other.
