In linguistics, clipping is the word formation process which consists in the reduction of a word to one of its parts (Marchand: 1969).Clipping is also known as truncation or shortening.. According to Marchand (1969), clippings are not coined as words belonging to the standard vocabulary of a language.ords with the middle part of the word left out are equally few. They may be further subdivided into two groups: (a) words with a final-clipped stem retaining the functional morpheme: maths (mathematics), specs (spectacles); (b) contractions due to a gradual process of elision under the influence of rhythm and context.
