The article aims to explore the interlingual and intralingual features of abbreviations across various fields. Abbreviations are one of the sources of word formation. As lexical units, they have been attributed to words, concepts and linguistic units in general. Investigating how abbreviations differ between languages (interlingual) and within a single language (intralingual), the study aims to analyze the impact of linguistic diversity on abbreviation usage. By analyzing examples from diverse disciplines, such as medicine, politics, technology and social life, the research sheds light on the nuanced ways, which abbreviations evolve and are interpreted across linguistic and disciplinary boundaries. Considering these features contributes to improved communication and comprehension in multicultural and multidisciplinary contexts.
