ABSTRACT

The process of interpreting blends and acronyms is similar to the process of solving a crossword puzzle quiz. First, we need to find out the original form of one part of the word(finding the clues), and then find out the original form of the rest of the parts of the word based on the found one(solving the clues). As strategies for finding clues, this paper suggests ‘Using words which is not clipped’, 'Using frames for analogy', and 'Using a the tendency to maintain the syllable number in blends’. As strategies for solving clues, this paper suggests 'Using a syntactic combination', 'Using a semantic combination' and ‘using a semantic replacement’. We can also use a social context to interpret blends and acronyms. If their meanings are not compositional, further process, using situational context, is needed to find out the added meaning.
