Journal Title: ІНОЗЕМНА ФІЛОЛОГІЯ - Year 2016, Vol 129, Issue

Presented in the given paper is an attempt to generalize on the major types of trans-codification of the acronym-carried concept(s) into a typologically divergent recipient lexicon and the socio-linguistic and pragmatic-semantic significance of these strategies.
