Notes on
abbreviations
Abbreviations are used in order to make notes more
quickly. Any word (except ―a‖!) may be abbreviated. You must
decide:
a) which words to abbreviate – obviously the most common
in a text, or the language of your study, or of English in general.
b) how to abbreviate them – you should use the shortest abbreviation which will be meaningful when you read back. An abbreviation is useless if you do not understand it immediately when you are reading your notes.
There are four main types of abbreviation in general use.
Type A: abbreviations of English or Latin phrases, in which the first letters, or sometimes syllables, of the words are given, as in p.a. (the abbreviation of the Latin phrase per annum) meaning yearly.
Type B: abbreviations of one-syllable words, consisting of the first letter only, as in b. meaning born, or the first and last letters of the word, as in yr meaning year.
Type C: abbreviations of polysyllabic (more than one syllable) words, in which the first letters of certain syllables are used, as in cg meaning centigramme, or the first and last letters of certain syllables, as in bldg meaning building. This type of abbreviation is often used with the vocabulary of science.
Type D: (the most common): abbreviations of polysyllabic words, consisting of the shortest possible abbreviations which are easily recognizable, as in doz. meaning dozen, geog. Meaning geography and geol. meaning geology [3].
