The English language is replete with so many abbreviations that entire dictionaries are compiled to understand what is said and written. Abbreviations can be classified in different ways:
- by area of application
- type
- by way of visualization
- similarity in sound.
Most abbreviations are built as an abbreviation. The abbreviation can be initial, that is, the initial letters of the constituent words are used for abbreviation. Another type of abbreviation is called alpha-sound. There are also mixed types. They are also found in English.
SMS abbreviations
A striking example of such an abbreviation is specific combinations for writing SMS. A whole language was invented from hundreds of words, understandable, however, both to the sender and the addressee. Suppose you receive a message from an English-speaking subscriber: ADIDAU BILY, this is not a network error, this is a confession: “All Day I Dream About You Because I Love You”.
Several Yet:
Abbreviations are used not only in messages transmitted through modern gadgets, but also in quite traditional correspondence.
Abbreviations in correspondence
Many abbreviations are used in business correspondence, from job titles: CA - certified public accountant, CEO (chief executive officer) - senior official to specific terms: col. (collection) - collection, collection; b/l (Bill of lading)
When filling out the address cell on the envelope, people do not write the full Street, replacing it with the abbreviation St - street.
And in the letter itself, the recipient, seeing the combinations of the letters “pls”, “ppl”, “Q.” easily read: please (please), people (people), question (question).
Dimension abbreviations
As in Russian, in English they often resort to abbreviations in writing various measurements. The barrel is denoted as bbl, foot (foot) - ft, ounce (ounce) - oz, quart - qt.
In English, some abbreviations associated with time, are written as an acronym, for example, the names of the months: Apr. , Aug./ Ag., Dec. They are pronounced in full form: April, August, December.
Others, say, indicating the time of day: a.m., p.m. - by letters, that is, as they are written.
Symbol abbreviations are very common. Many of them are international in nature.
The number is indicated by the sign #, "and" - &, the dollar is written as $, the pound sterling and the euro correspond to the signs £ and €. Copyright symbol - ©.
Geographical, phonetic, visual abbreviations
Abbreviation of place names, such as states, provinces and even individual cities in English are far from uncommon. An example is the abbreviation for the name of the District of Columbia (District of Columbia) DC or the city of Washington, WA.
An interesting kind of abbreviation - phonetic and visual. The first are based on the consonance of certain words and numbers. 10Q is like Thank You (thank you), 2ez is like Too easy (too easy). F2F - on Face to Face (face to face) and in writing replace these expressions.
colloquial abbreviations
Abbreviations of the most frequently used expressions have almost entered the literary norm. They can not only be heard in colloquial speech, but also found in the works of writers or in the words of songs. Their unique feature is that an expression consisting of several words is not only pronounced together, but also written in one word. Words that make up a phrase. I am shortens to I'm, I have to I've, I will to I'll.
There are even shorter options: I had or I would speak and write like I'd, You had or you would like You'd, and He is or he has like He's.
You will | You'll |
You have | You've |
You are | You're |

We will | We'll |

She had/she would | She'd |
Shall not | Shan't |
Ought not | Oughtn't |
Need not | Needn't |

Some slang expressions acquired a new sound and are written together.
An abbreviation is a combination of two or more words into one whole, while letters, for example, vowels, are thrown out of the words. In written speech, instead of missing letters, an apostrophe is written. Abbreviations in English, as a rule, are used in an informal setting (in conversation, in writing). Their goal is to simplify colloquial speech. They save time in today's society.
English abbreviations are abbreviated forms of parts of speech. Without them, it is very difficult to imagine a modern foreign language. The youth came up with these abbreviations for quick communication and data transfer. Everyone is using them now. If we compare the Internet correspondence of an English teenager and our student, then abroad teenagers use abbreviations hundreds of times more. There was even such a case that one girl was so carried away by abbreviations that she wrote a whole essay in the form of special abbreviations and signs that cannot be read immediately without auxiliary transcripts. Therefore, it is necessary to get to know this interesting language better.

Where are English abbreviations used?
They are mainly used when writing messages on social networks, forums, chat rooms, special resources for language exchange. At first, only programmers communicated in this way, now the whole world. This is a whole system of letters and signs that you need to learn for simple communication. They are somewhat reminiscent of hieroglyphs, when one sign means a whole sentence. Auxiliary and modal verbs and the negative particle not are subject to reduction.
Types of abbreviations
There are 4 types of abbreviations in English:
- graphic (found in written sources - books, letters, dictionaries);
The oldest group of such abbreviations are words of Latin origin. Such words are written in abbreviated form, but in oral speech they are read in full. - lexical - abbreviations. In turn, they are divided into the following subgroups:
a) initial - capital letters of countries, companies;
b) syllabic - abbreviations for the initial syllables of compound words;
c) partially abbreviated - abbreviations, which include 2 words: one is abbreviated, the second is used in full. - mergers;
- digital.
Contrachance or contraction of words is in every living language. This often causes a problem for those who have just started learning, for example, English. Often it is in the songs that one can trace the contraction when trying to catch the meaning, but because of the abbreviation of the words, nothing is clear. Therefore, you need to learn to understand the abbreviations that native speakers of this language own and use in everyday speech.
PHRASAL VERBS
Phrasal verbs are often used with the following words: on, off, in, out, up, down, away, back, over, about, round, forward, through, along. And often the meaning of the verb changes. For example:
look! - Look!
look out! - Be careful!

In the modern age, saturated with information, there is less and less time for communication and correspondence. No matter how paradoxical it may sound, but the more information a person owns, the more ways he is looking for to reduce it and transmit it in a more concise form. One of the best ways to shorten words and expressions is to use abbreviations.
Today they are ubiquitous in general English, in business correspondence, in SMS messages and chats, in international terms. Many of them are used quite often, so not only English learners, but also an ordinary modern person should master a couple of the most common of them.
Abbreviation(Italian abbreviatura from lat. brevis - short) - a word formed by abbreviation of a word or phrase and read by the alphabetic name of the initial letters or by the initial sounds of the words included in it.
Abbreviations are found in any language of the world and play a huge role. Sometimes ignorance or incorrect use of one or another abbreviation in English can lead to a rather awkward situation or misunderstanding of what the interlocutor wants to express with this or that phrase.
Let's look at an example of the misuse of a fairly well-known abbreviation lol(laughing out loud - laugh out loud).
messages
Mom: Your beloved aunt just passed away. lol
I: Why is that funny?
Mom: It's not funny, David!
I: Mom, LOL means “laughing out loud”.
Mom: Oh my goodness! I thought it means “lots of love”...I sent it to everyone! I need to call everybody…
