Abstract

 

This study deals with clipping in English and Arabic. Clipping is shortening a word into one of its elements.

     This study is an attempt in contrastive analysis. It aims to identifying, analyzing, and contrasting the process of clipping in English and in Arabic. It also aims to know whether Arabic has a clipping process for creating new words or not? 

     The procedures followed in this study are giving a full description of clipping structure in English and Arabic and then making a comparison between them.

     It is found that Modern Standard Arabic has not an independent process called clipping for creating new words as in English. But it has a partition process. Arabic partition process can be used for grammatical and poetic purposes as in vocative sty
