Abstract

This article presents the use of conjunctions and prepositions in fully written­out forms and abbreviations. A selection of pairs of abbreviations and fully written-out forms obtained through an algorithm for automatically identifying abbreviations is used to examine the frequency of conjunctions and prepositions in abbreviations. Based on the examination of Slovenian abbreviations, it is established that there are relatively few cases in which abbreviations contain a conjunction and/or a preposition (i.e., only 1.5%), but they prove interesting for study and discussion.
