This paper presents a semantic-structural and stylistic analysis of abbreviations in modern English. The study examines the main types of abbreviations acronyms, initialisms, clippings, and blends and analyzes their structural formation and semantic characteristics. Special attention is paid to the stylistic functions of abbreviations in different discourse domains, including scientific, technical, media, and everyday communication. The research highlights how abbreviations contribute to language economy, expressiveness, and communicative efficiency, while also reflecting social, technological, and cultural changes. The findings demonstrate that abbreviations are not only structural language units but also stylistically marked elements that play an important role in shaping modern English vocabulary and discourse practices.
