Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 10 класс, Просвещение: Focus on Word-Building Shortening is a comparatively new way of word-building. Nowadays it has achieved a high degree of productivity especially in American English. Shortenings (contracted words) are produced in two ways. I. Some words lose their beginnings or their ends and new words appear. Sometimes a word can lose both its beginning and its ending. II. A new word is formed from the initial letters of a word group. These are called abbreviations. the United Nations the -> UN the British Broadcasting Corporation the -> BBC member of Parliament) -> MP personal computer -> PC
Both types of shortenings are characteristic of informal speech though abbreviations are found among formal words, too.
