【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 the exchange is more convenient. On the other hand, the written form is simple, easy to remember. If the phrase “l(fā)ight wave application by stimulated emission of radiation” is abbreviated as the “l(fā)aser”, the words from the previous 19 to 2. We can see that abbreviations save trouble and effort and are in line with the requirements of the development of modern society. Fuzziness The basic ponents of English abbreviation are “l(fā)etter”. It is thumbnail because letters are only with the sound and shape, no sense. The bination of words, sound, form after righteousness which contact between them became very loose, not like the plete words or phrases that are close. For example, the APC can be American Power Conference (American Power Conference), also can be adjustable pressure conveyor (pressure regulating conveyor), and also may be the automatic Power control (automatic power adjustment), automatic program control (automatic process control) or automatic phase control (automatic phase adjustment). The phrase rules are not fixed, and human factors influenced is bigger. For example, people often make abbreviated words easy to know, easy to remember, but the choice or arrangement of the letters depends on habits. So these will add some fuzzy to abbreviation. Lability The emergence of abbreviations is a product of certain social, political, cultural, 黑河學(xué)院 本科生 畢業(yè)論文（設(shè)計(jì)） 5 economic, technological, etc. In the process of social development, some standards of abbreviation for a wide range are accepted by the public. A period of time， abbreviations widely used is to enter the lexical system. But with the social changing, soon less used abbreviation gradually disappears and bee the old words. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, such as before, RSFSR (Russian Soviet federal socialist republic) the abbreviations rarely used and changed by Russia. In addition, some of the traditional English abbreviations was also endowed the new content. Such as SOS, belongs to international practice distress signal, refers to save our souls (help us), which are now with someone special (a special characters) and the same old shit (the old stuff) and other different meanings, etc. Summary The development of economy and science, technology leap, changes of social life all require us to use the fast, concise language to reflect the plex new things and social phenomenon so as to save time and improve munication efficiency. The phenomenons of using abbreviation to replace the old words are mon and also very necessary. The use of the abbreviation both key points, save space, and make the limited space contain a large amount of information, so as to effectively spread the must express information. So the abbreviation research is very significant and necessary. 黑河學(xué)院 本科生 畢業(yè)論文（設(shè)計(jì)） 6 2. The Generation Characteristics of English Abbreviation English abbreviations of word formation are to follow certain rules. Clipping A way which is widely used to form abbreviation is clipping, a process of cutting off the certain part or parts of a word to make up its abbreviation form① . A great number of English words have undergone the process of clipping happens in different ways: Cutting the Final Part. One of the ways in which clipping happens is cutting the final part of a word and left the initial part (or sometimes with a slight variation). This is one of the most usual ways to form abbreviation. It happens like that: Doc — doctor。 fax — facsimile。 lab — laboratory。 auto — automobile。 gas — gasoline. Cutting the Initial Part. This is another mon means by which abbreviations are formed. The final part is left and used to stand for the original word. For example: copter — helicopter。 doze — bulldozer。 quake — earthquake. We use such kind of abbreviations very often in our munication. They are shorter than their original forms. Cutting the Initial Part and the Final Part. On some rare occasions， both the initial part and first are clipped off with the middle part preserved and represents the original one. It happens like these: fluidics — fluidounce, flu — influenza。 fridge — refrigerator。 script — prescription. Cutting either the Initial Part or the Final Part. Some clipping words are created by this means and either of the two parts can 黑河學(xué)院 本科生 畢業(yè)論文（設(shè)計(jì)） 7 represent its form. Some examples here can explain this point clearly. For example: heli copter — helicopter, roller coaster — roller coaster. In these two examples, either “heli” or “copter” can stand for the word “helicopter”, so that people will never be confused. The same thing happens to “roller” and “coaster”, to cut the other syllables of a word and with only the initial syllable left. Sometimes, abbreviation form when the first syllables of each word in a word group are left and other syllables cut off. For instance: CRUDIV — Cruiser Division, HICOM — High Command. Blending Blending refers to two or more than two words synthesis, and synthesis abbreviated is called the word of patchwork② . There are four main kinds: 1) The first part of the word before + the after part of the second word, for example, brunch (breakfast + lunch), Oxbridge (Oxford + Cambridge). 2) The first part of the word before + the first part of the second word, for example, sit (situation + edy), modern (modulator + demodulator). 3) The first part of the word before + all of the second word, For example, medicate (medical + care), lancing (language + sign). 4) All of the first language + the after part of the second word, workfare (work + welfare), travelogue (travel + logue).
