  Abbreviation In the process of communication words & word-groups can be shortened. The causes of shortening can be linguistic & extra-linguistic. By extra-linguistic causes, changes in the life of people are meant. In Modern English many new abbreviations, acronyms, initials ( начальное сокращение ), blends ( слово - гибрид , образованное путем контрактации двух основ ( motel )) are formed because the tempo of life is increasing & it becomes necessary to give more & more information in the shortest possible time.

 для 3 курса бакалавров Classification of language units according to the period of time they live in the language     Words can be classified according to the period of their life in the language. The number of new words in a language is always larger than number of words which come out of active usage. Accordingly, we can have archaism that is word, which have come out of active usage, & neologisms, that is words, which have recently appeared in the language.                                         Archaism & historisms   Archaisms are words, which are no longer used in everyday speech, which have been ousted by their synonyms. Archaisms remain in the language, but they are used as stylistic devices to express solemnity. Most of these words are lexical archaism...
