Лінгвістика description: Shortening is considered a very productive word-building process. It is the dropping of the part of a word so as to produce a new and shorter word of the same or different meaning. In English, shortenings may be presented by acronyms, abbreviations, initialisms, clippings, blends, and back-formations. Each of them has its own pattern, but it is sometimes difficult to identify a given shortening. The following paper concentrates on the specific word-formation processes “clipping” and “blending”. publisher: Кам’янейць-Подільський: ВПП “Апостроф” date: 2011 type: Стаття type: PeerReviewed format: text language: uk identifier: http://eprints.zu.edu.ua/14856/1/%D0%A7%D1%83%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BA_3.pdf identifier: Чумак, Л.
