    Clipping Presentation Morphology

    The document defines clipping as shortening a word while retaining its meaning and form. It provides examples of clipped words like "ad" from "advertisement" and "condo" from "condominium". There are three types of clipping: back clipping which removes letters from the end (like "gas" from "gasoline"), fore-clipping which removes letters from the front ("phone" from "telephone"), and middle clipping which removes letters from both ends ("flu" from "influenza").

    Clipping

    Definition, Examples and Types

    Clipping refers to the


    process whereby a lexeme
    (simplex or complex) is
    shortened,
    while
    still
    retaining the same meaning
    and still being a member of
    the same form class.
    (Laurie Bauer, 1989: 233)

    (Plag, Ingo, 2003)

    There are three types of


    clippings:
    1.

    Back clipping
    2. Fore-clipping
    3. Middle clipping

    Back clipping (apocopation)


    Back clipping means removing a segment of
    letters which are in the back.
    For instances:
    Gas gasoline
    The word gasoline' can be shortened to gas'
    [gasoline]
    Demo demonstration
    The word 'demonstration' can be shortened to
    demo' [demonstration]
    Exam examination
    The word examination' can be shortened to exam'
    [examination]

    Fore-clipping (aphaeresis)
    Fore-clipping means removing a segment of letters which
    are in front of the word.
    For instances:
    Phone telephone
    The word 'telephone' can be fore clipped by removing the
    'tele' segment, creating a shortened version: 'phone'
    [telephone].
    Gator alligator
    The word alligator' can be fore clipped by removing the
    alli' segment, creating a shortened version: gator'
    [alligator].
    Pike
    turnpike
    The word 'turnpike can be fore clipped by removing the
    'turn' segment, creating a shortened version: pike'
    [turnpike].

    Middle clipping (syncope)


    Middle clipping is a combination of both: removing
    a segment of letters from the front as well as the
    back of the word.
    For Instances:
    Flu (influenza)
    The word 'influenza' can be clipped by removing
    the segments 'in' and 'enza', resulting in 'flu'
    [influenza].
    Tec (detective)
    The word detective' can be clipped by removing
    the segments de and tive, resulting in tec'
    [detective].
    Polly (apollinaris)
    The word appollinaris' can be clipped by
    removing the
    segments in naris, resulting in
    polli [appollinaris].
