Top answer

A "pattern" (in the sense you are asking about) is anything that we can recognise as being non-random. In your example sentence, "pattern" refers to a non-random sequence of sounds (or words) that we eventually come to recognise as conveying a certain meaning.

I think a pattern differs from a phrase in being abstract.

If you recognize the same phrase in two sentences, the words are identical.

If you recognize the same PATTERN in two sentences, the words may be different.
