ON LANGUAGE REPRESENTATION OF STRUCTURAL MODELSOF GERMAN ABBREVIATED DOCUMENTONYMS

Abstract

The aim. To analyze the structural models of German documentary abbreviations, among which combined abbreviations prevail. Methodology. Systematization of the empirical material on the research topic has been carried out using a descriptive method; the method of structural modeling with reference to the part-of-speech structure of the models was used; in the selection of material the method of continuous sampling was applied. Results. It is concluded that, in structural terms, combined abbreviations prevail among the models; the model of the abbreviation does not depend on the model of the document name enwrapped into it. From the point of view of part-of-speech composition, abbreviations from nouns prevail among abbreviations. A feature of German documentary abbreviations is the location of the mandatory component of the abbreviation or its onomasiological basis in the postposition. Research implications. The research contributes to the development of methods for the classification of models of German abbreviations-documentary names, taking into account such parameters as structure, onomasiological categories and part-of-speech content.
