Тема:Абревіатура.
Teacher: Let’s guess some proper nouns,
for you to use them in a proper way:
Alaska (A….a), Hawaii,(H….i) Idaho,(I…o) Iowa,(I..a)Maine(M…e)
Teacher: We’re going to learn how to use
comma between words or group of words in a series, abbreviations that end with
the period, geographical abbreviations, abbreviations for the books.
An abbreviation (from Latin brevis, meaning short) is a shortened form of a
word or phrase. Usually, but not always,
it consists of a letter or group of letters taken from the word or phrase.
For example, the word abbreviation can
itself be represented by the abbreviation abbr., abbrv. or abbrev.
Instrict analysis,
abbreviations should not be confused with contractions or acronyms (including
initialisms), with which they share some semantic and phonetic functions,
though all three are connoted by the term "abbreviation"
in loose parlance.An abbreviation is a shortening by any method; a contraction is a
reduction of size by the drawing together of the parts.
