초록

The purpose of this paper is to survey English abbreviations that are currently used in text messaging and online chat, and to provide a morphological account of them. To this end, we collected 1159 data with morphological properties from five online dictionaries and five websites/blogs, and analyzed them by the processes by which they were formed. The results showed that about 92.49% of all the data were initialisms. Compared with initialism, word-formational processes such as blending, clipping, onomatopoeia etc. were relatively infrequently used to make SMS abbreviations. Clipped words accounted for only 4.06% (47 words) of the collected data, which was followed by onomatopoeia/mimetic words (0.69%), symbols (0.51%) and blends (0.43%). This analysis shows a rather different result from previous analyses (Kumar 2012; Anjaneyulu 2013).
