ago by an aborted US operation. In so doing he runs into his former girlfriend, Deidre and her brother (and close friend) Liam Mellows. Mellows is an IRA enforcer on the run from both the Provisional as well as the RUC following a rumour that he's become an informer. Valentine recovers the file and soon discovers that its contents are very sensitive and linked to some shady US Government types. He and Mellows go on the run pursued by a conglomerate of vicious acronyms consisting of CIA, RUC, IRA as well as Valentine's own organisation the MRU. Aided by a veteran smuggler Regan, they flee Ireland in Valentine's old trawler and head off into the North Sea. The real theme of the book is how friendships can survive when they are forged in the brutal world of death and treachery that forms the world of espionage and covert war. The story is told in first person who allows the cynicism of Valentine to flow and contrast abrasively with
when a long uncommon word becomes (for one reason or another) more common. A very recent example in Italian is super from supermercato `supermarket'. In all languages there is a rough correlation between the frequency of a word and its length; this is known as Zipf's Law (see Crystal 1987). In languages with widespread literacy, other means of forming new words are based on the writing system. In English both abbreviations (e.g. BBC, MP, PC, etc.) and acronyms (e.g. radar) are common. (Radar stands for RAdio Detection And Ranging.) Other languages use other devices (for example, in languages that use the Chinese writing system, it is common for long compounds to be reduced to the first elements of the subcompounds they contain, so that Japanese too-kyo dai-gakku `Tokyo University', literally `east-capital big-school' is usually referred to as too-dai literally `east-big' but more idiomatically translated as something like `TU')
parts- shortening. Three types of clipping: Foreclipping- retain gthe fial part of the word- racoon-coon, telephone- phone Back-clipping- retains the beginnig crocodille- crock, doctor- doc, gasoline-gas Ambiclipping- middle part is retained- influenza- flu Clipping means beginning plus beginning situation comedy- sitcom But blending is if you take beginning plus the end- money plus energy=monergy 12) Abbrevation and Acronyms Abbrevation in initial letters are taken to replace the phrase- shortened form of a word or phrase usually consists of a letter or a group of letters taken from the word or phrase. Abbrevation--abbrev. Acronyms are pronounced according to grapheme-phoneme conversation rule. They are one of the types of abbrevation. 13) Meaning change A word typically has not one meaning but several. Fading- an old sense of a word fades away- dies Radiation- a new sense of words are created.
1. What do the acronyms TLS, MTLS, ALS, LIDAR, LASER, TOF, PS refer to? TLS (TerrestriaTLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) - viitab otseselt maapealsele, peamiselt staatilisele, laserskaneerimisele. Kasutatakse ka nimisõnana. Mobiilne terrestriline laserskaneerimine (MTLS) Mobiilset ehk dünaamilist laserskaneerimist kasutatakse peamiselt sõiduki peal oleva seadme abil teede ja tänavate mõõdistamiseks. ALS - aerolaserskaneerimine (Airborne Laser Scanning) –viitab otseselt lennuki või helikopteri pealt laserskaneerimisele. LIDAR (LIght Detection and Ranging) – viitab kaugseire tehnoloogiale. Laialdaselt kasutatakse lennuki või helikopteri pealt skaneerimise kohta, kuigi nimetus ei ole viidatud laseri kasutamisele ega muule tehnoloogiale LASER - (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation ek. valguse võimendumine stimuleeritud kiirguse kaudu) on seade, mis võimaldab kiirata kitsaid, koherentseid ja monokr...
vaatluse all oleva sõnastiku muutmise üle mõistepõhiseks, ehkki see temalt rohkem aega võttis kui sõnastiku esimese trükiversiooni ettevalmistamine. Jah, kui autor nii ütleb, siis tänu mõistepõhisele koostamisele on sõnastikus vähem vigu, kuid kasutusmugavust see ei tundu suurendavat – pigem vastupidi. 2008. aasta väljaandes on kasutatud terminiallikate loetelus kõik esmatrüki allikad peale „Internetworking terms and acronyms“ ja ISO/IEC 2382. Information technology. Vocabulary. 1986-1995 ja allikaid on lisandunud – kõik kokku 31. 2008. aasta sõnastikus on 1996. a „Tähiste ja lühendite“ peatüki asemel peatükk „Kasutusjuhend“ ning selles on toodud skeem kasutavate tähiste ja lühendite kohta. Skeem on esmatrüki tähiste loetelust ülevaatlikum ning võrreldes esimese väljaandega on kasutusel kasutajale harjumuspärasemaid ja seega kergemini
Backformation is a form of shortening in which the omitted material is or is perceived to be a formative, typically an affix. Itsomission produces a new form with a meaning related to but distinct from that of the etymon. Backformation has been a surprisingly productive source of new words.” Examples: baby-sit (babysitter), televise (television), emote (emotion), edit (editor), burgle (burglar), peeve (peevish), diagnose (diagnosis) 24. Alphabetisms, initialisms, acronyms – types of shortening Alphabetisms: An expression may be shortened to a sequence of letters pronounced as their names, as FM ‘frequency modulation’ is pronounced ‘eff em’. The letters are not necessarily the initials of separate words or even morphemes: TV from television and American PJs or peejays from pyjamas. Special letters, such as those of the signal alphabet, Initialism> An abbreviation that consists of the first letter or letters of words in a phrase
combination with words, affixes, or other combining forms to form compounds or derivatives, as electro- in electromagnet or geo- in geochemistry. Back-formation new words are formed by taking away affixes. (nt, connection, to connect). This process is based on analogy. Back-form is word building and it means coining verbs. (nt, butcher, to butch; sculptor, to sculpt, television, to televise). Rarely some other parts of speech are found (nt, nasty, to nast) Alphabetisms, initialisms, acronyms words made up of the initial letters (nt, USA, WC) Clippings, fore clippings, back clippings, ambiclippings Clipping is the word formation process which consists of the reduction of a word to one of its parts- shortening. Three types of clipping: Fore clipping- retain the final part of the word- racoon - coon, telephone- phone Back clipping- retains the beginning crocodile- croc, doctor- doc, gasoline-gas Ambiclipping- middle part is retained- influenza- flu

Adsorption – adsorb Babysitter – babysit Television – televise Bartender – bartend 23. Alphabetisms, initialisms, acronyms Alphabetisms function as nouns and adjectives and are formed of letters of the alphabet. Initialisms are alphabetisms, where the initial letters of a phrase are taken to replace the phrase.

12. Abbreviation . Engl has a tendency to form short words. A new word is formed by shortening the stem. (nt, ad, advertisment; siss, sister; doc, doctor). Are usually colloquial. If the shortened form is used more often than the long form, it becomes neutral (nt, phone, telephone). Abbr. Types of shortening: *initial shortening- means dropping the first part (nt, telephone, phone) *final shortening- second part dropped (exam, examination) *acronyms- words made up of initial letters (nt, USA, WC) *ellipsis- shortening an expression (nt, bub, public house) *syncope-dropping unstressed syllables in the middle of the word(mathS, mathematics) 13. Blending it is joining 2 stems and dropping points of both(nt, smog smoke plus fog, fringlish- french plus engl, motel- motorists plus hotel)It operates in colloquial engl. It is concidered a minor word building type. Yet new words appear today as well and it is quite productive

They had caused a Rising Sun to start to set. There was no single moment when the Battle of Midway was suddenly and decisively won, and so there was no burst of wild cheering in the basement office. The cryptanalysts reacted prosaically. The unit went on a watch in three instead of a watch and watch. It was also expanding rapidly. By the next year, it had changed its name to Fleet Radio ini-N i/vi^a Unit, Pacific Fleet—FRUPAC, in the Navy's interminable list of acronyms. Rochefort had departed in October, 1942, for two years of noncryptologic duties. He was replaced by Captain William B. Goggins, 44, a 1919 Annapolis graduate with long communications experience. Goggins, who had been wounded in the Battle of the Java Sea, remained as head of FRUPAC to January, 1945. Dyer continued to head cryptanalysis. Eventually FRUPAC comprised a personnel of more than 1,000. Much of the work was done in the new Joint Intelligence Center,
