1. To learn more about the rules of making the codified language used by native speakers. 2. To improve English and to enlarge vocabulary. The tasks : To talk in the internet with the English - speaking people and to see the usage of acronyms; To study the rules of making acronyms; To make a presentation Text Message Abbreviations; To morph messages and texts from newspapers into the acronyms and decode online conversations.

Text message abbreviations not only save time and effort, but also prove to be a type of code, which is only understood by the person to whom you are sending the information. Using text message abbreviations is even considered a hip culture amongst youngsters.

An abbreviation is any shortened form of a word or phrase and an acronym is a form of an abbreviation. word acronym was created by Bell Laboratories in 1943.

Acronym; Initialism; Truncation.

It is formed by combining the first letters in a name or expression and each letter is pronounced separately. For example, the National Broadcasting Company is known as NBC. AZ would be the initialism for Arizona.

Truncations. In this form of abbreviation, a word is shortened to its first syllable or few letters, for example Tues is Tuesday and info is information.

It wasnt until the mid 20th century that abbreviations (in all forms) became popular and now, in the 21st century, abbreviation use has reached epidemic proportions. In early 2010,Acronym Finder had more than 4,500,000 approved acronyms B – be, R – are, U – you 2 – to, too, two CmCall me CUSee You CUIMD See you in my dreams CulSee you later

The main reason we use abbreviations, including acronyms, is for convenience. The use of multiple word names favored by government agencies, science and high technology has led to the demand for shorter simpler title; for example Comlog Westpac is short for Commander, Logistic Group, Western Pacific a department of the U.S. Navy and WSIPC is the short name for the Washington School Information Processing Cooperative.

Some businesses may use abbreviations in an attempt to retain their corporate identity while moving away from less desirable or old images. Kentucky Fried Chicken now promotes itself as KFC in an attempt to downplay the deep fried food image and its negative connotations. Abbreviations also help in international business. IBM (International Business Machines) names its foreign operations using IBM and the country or region where it is located, such as IBM France.

Electronic communication has been a particularly fertile field for abbreviations. Systems like Twitter and text messaging limit the length of a message to only 140 – 160 characters. So, writers have no choice but to use abbreviations.
