DICTIONARY OF ABBREVIATIONS IN LINGUISTICS: TOWARDS DEFINING FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS AS STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF THE ENTRY

Fabijanić, Ivo

The article deals with general information about the project of compiling a dictionary of abbreviations in linguistics.It also contains a short overview of past research together with their main results.Theoretical solutions refer to the Multi-level approach in collecting data for submorphemic wordformations, which consists of three aspects: 1) Structure and Modes of Production, 2) Cognitive Aspects, and 3) Functional Aspects. Practical solutions for the structure and modes of production, as well as for the cognitive aspect, have already been recommended with the results properly substantiated by the examples of abbreviations. This research presents results for the functional aspect, which refers to stylistic and sociolinguistic, pragmatic and text-linguistic aspects. We provided solutions for analysing stylistic features of the abbreviations andthe expressive means and stylistic devices used in their formation. Keywords: dictionary, abbreviations, linguistics, micro-structure, analysis, multi-level approach, functional aspect, stylistics
