Abstract

From the time I imigrated to the United States, I have always been very surprised by the constant use of acronyms in schools, industries, and government. In November 1978, I started my first full-time job with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) after finishing my doctorate at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I was to be part of a national team that tried to understand and define the computer requirements of faculty, particularly researchers at Caltech, University of Southern California (USC), and UCLA, on how they would use computers. Because of my biomedical engineering (BME) background, I was assigned to the healthcare/hospital marketing team. During my first week, I overheard a team member say: “Just came back from the LA County-USC Medical Center and there is a problem in the CCU. ”
词语、缩略语、语言和感知:人类思维、生活与语义互通性
从我移民到美国开始,我就一直对学校、行业和政府中不断使用的缩略语感到非常惊讶。1978 年 11 月,我在加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)完成博士学位后,开始了在国际商用机器公司(IBM)的第一份全职工作。我是一个国家小组的成员,该小组试图了解并确定教师,尤其是加州理工学院、南加州大学(USC)和加州大学洛杉矶分校研究人员对计算机的需求,以及他们将如何使用计算机。由于我的生物医学工程(BME)背景,我被分配到医疗保健/医院营销团队。在我工作的第一周,我无意中听到一位团队成员说"刚从洛杉矶加州大学医疗中心回来,CCU 出了点问题。"
