»TYMCZA«, »NARKA«, »BEZVA«, »SENZA« – THE PROCESSES OF SHORTENING IN POLISH AND CZECH

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

The article describes the processes of shortening in Polish and in Czech. The exemplificative material is mostly derived from the Polish and Czech teenage language, because this social group is treated as the most creative group of language users, although it is significant to point out, that in Czech, acronyms can be found in spoken language of adults more often than in the Polish language. The author also notices the tendency to shorten words of English origin among other things, due to the derivative-abbreviatory processes, for example: net < internet, noťas < notebook etc.
