Abstract

This article is devoted to a systematic analysis of the types of abbreviations commonly found in modern English and their functional characteristics. In the context of globalization and technological advancement, the communicative load on language is rapidly increasing, leading to the emergence and widespread use of new linguistic units—abbreviations—across all spheres of life. In English, abbreviations appear in various forms, including acronyms, initialisms, clipped words, blends, and contracted forms. These elements play an essential role in simplifying communication, increasing the speed and efficiency of information exchange, compressing texts, and expressing stylistic nuances related to different social groups.
