Économisation lexicale en français et en polonais

Abstract

The article presents contemporary tendencies in French and Polish to reduce the volume of words
by the use of abbreviations (apocope and apheresis) and acronyms (initialisms, words from initial
sounds, blends). At present, these tendencies are intensified by the increased speed of communication
(facilitated by new technologies) as well as by the influence of English, which tends to abbreviate its
vocabulary. By comparing French and Polish yet one can observe that French abbreviates words more
often (it showed such tendencies earlier too), while Polish uses rather acronyms and contractions instead.
