Sažetak
The research presents results of classifications and analyses of alphabethisms, acronyms and their hybrid forms on a limited corpus of English medical terms. Alphabethisms were classified according to two criteria: narrower and broader sense. Their differences in orthographic formation were described by a set of specific descriptors. This kind of description was used in the classification and analysis of the corpus of both English and Croatian medical terms. In the analysis of orthographic adaptation of English alphabethisms and acronyms to Croatian, three degrees of their adaptation were suggested: zero orthographic change, partial/compromise adaptation and complete adaptation. Substitution and adaptation on the orthographic level is tentatively named transgraphemization.
