Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. 1982 FIRST EDITION hardcover. No jacket, as issued. Clean, NEW CONDITION copy. NOT an ex-library book. 370 pp. "In a rapidly developing world where time, space and money are at a premium, innumerable forms of linguistic shorthand are increasingly being used in business, technological and military communication. Aimed especially at the nations of the Pacific Basin area, this invaluable book answers the need for a better understanding of the great mass of abbreviations in current use. The Pacific Index of Abbreviations contains nearly 29,000 entries with almost 50,000 definitions, some ten per cent of which are telex and commercial communcation terms. Arthur Ivory spent nearly a decade on the compilation of the Pacific Index of Abbreviations. In 1976 he made a roudn-the-world semantic journey as part of his research, and he has been actively assisted by leading British, Australian, American and Japanese lexicographers, and by hundreds of organisations, libraries and individuals throughout the Pacific Basin area.".
