The Use of Acronyms in Different Communication Modes (a corpus-based study)
Original language description
Language offers many possibilities to shorten a long word or a phrase. One of them is using an acronym, which is a shortened form of more than two words containing only their initial letters. Using them increases communication speed. Acronyms like lol or wtf originally appeared in chat conversations and from there, they spread to other computer-mediated communication genres, and eventually even into written texts and natural speech. This study compares their distribution in these three communication modes, based on data from corpora of contemporary language.
