Abbreviation in the Net Communication

The present study is devoted to tackling the use of abbreviation in the net communication. Abbreviation is a short way of writing a word or a phrase that could also be written out in full. The first section of this paper focus on the impossibility for one to exploit the internet service unless that one is competent in the English language, While the second one is to present the notion of acronomy as a sort of linguistic abbreviation which must not be pronounced as series of letters but as a word (Enarsson, 2006: 3). The second section itself is subdivided into three subsections the first of which is to manifest acronomy as a form of jargon through which the cultural identity of the communicator may be identified. The second is to show how such a linguistic variety may be useful to save effort and time for the originator and the receiver of the communication. The third subsection introduces acronomy as a register; a variety of language that is resorted to in a particular situation. It is a distinctive medium of the net communication. At last, the conclusion sums up the findings of the study
