STRUCTURAL AND SEMANTIC FEATURES OF ABBREVIATIONS

Аннотация

The military sphere is no longer the only engine of these phenomena, but it is still characterized by an extremely wide use of abbreviations, a variety of their types and a high rate of renewal. It cannot be otherwise. The rapid improvement of military equipment and weapons, the transformation of the armed forces into one of the most important social institutions entails the emergence of a large number of new concepts and lexical units expressing them: terms, nomenclature names, jargon, etc. Under the influence of various linguistic and extralinguistic factors, the development of new units of the nomination proceeds in parallel with the abbreviation of many of them. The author of this article identifies structural types and models of abbreviations-terms, defines semantic models of abbreviations, establishes the productivity of structural and semantic types and models of abbreviations.
