  Nowadays in the English language of scientific, technical and economical literature there are a lot of different abbreviations. The growth of their quantity is absolutely natural. As a result of science and technique development, integration processes in the field of economics, the English language reveals new notions which are needed to be named. Most of new notions in the English language appear by means of word combination and complex words. Types of terms give us the possibility to express necessary features of a notion with more details. But terms – complex words and terms – word combinations are bulky. That is why there is an aspiration for using its shortened variants in a view of only one component. The topicality of our investigation can also be explained by considerable diffusion and fast quantitative growth of this type of lexical units in the modern English language.
