缩略形式的选取单位及其分析

On Selecting and Analyzing Units of Abbreviation Forms

缩略是一种语言形式的变化,它从原词语中选用部分形式组成一个新形式表示与原词语相同的意思。在缩略过程中,选取的形式有的有单独表意能力,有的没有,这表明,缩略过程中选择的是形式片段而不语义单位。

Abbreviating is a change of linguistic form, choosing a part or some parts from its or their primary words or expressions to make up of an abbreviated form to express the same meaning. In selecting the units of an abbreviation form, some units alone have their original meaning, while others dofit, which indicates that abbreviating is selecting the formal units from words or expressions, not semantic units.
