Blending

Несмотря на то, что данный способ отмечается в языке только с конца XIX в., в настоящее время он набирает продуктивность очень большими темпами, причем первое место по использованию слитков занимает реклама, для которой принцип «максимум смысла при минимуме пространства» в сочетании с необычностью формы является главным.
