Directory 1. Denis Jamet, Corpus of Clipped Forms Message 1: Corpus of Clipped Forms
Date: 23-Oct-2007 From: Denis Jamet <djametuniv-lyon3.fr> Subject: Corpus of Clipped Forms E-mail this message to a friend Dear Linguists, I am looking for a list of clipped forms in English (such as VET for VETERINARY SURGEON, PHONE for TELEPHONE, COMBO for COMBINATION, etc.) to carry out a statistical study concerning the frequency of use of the clipped forms and the ''original'' forms. Has anyone heard of such a list or of such a corpus? Thanks a lot.
