选项
答案Acronymy is the process of forming new words by joining the initial letters of names of social and political organizations or special noun phrases and technical terms. Words formed in this way are called initial-isms or acronyms, depending on the pronunciation of the words. Initial-isms are words pronounced letter by letter.such as VOA,BBC,TV. Acronyms are pronounced as a normal word, for example. AIDS (acquired immune defciency syndrome) , TEFL(teaching English as a foreign language) ,N-bomb (nuclear bomb) .G-man (Government man) ,etc.
