The article deals with the abbreviative adverbs and their role in linguistic economy of social media communication. The aim of the study is to identify the adverbs with the morpheme-abbreviation root as the newest derivatives, to study their structure, syntactic role and stylistic functions. We associate their emergence, in particular, with the principle of linguistic economy, which consists in simplifying speech efforts and is caused by the linguistic pragmatism of speakers. Social media communication in the first quarter of the 21st century has promoted the formation of capacious derivatives. Applying empirical research methods (observation, comparison, description), information and parametric analysis, analogy, heuristic methods, developing our research by the scientific induction method, we have found out that abbreviative adverbs formed from an adjectival abbreviative base constitute a small group of such derivatives, since not all adjectives of the Ukrainian language are capable of providing a derivational basis for adverbs. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the analysis of abbreviative adverbs has not been covered to present extent in any studies before. We have come to the conclusions that today abbreviative adverbs are motivated only by abbreviative adjectival bases, at the same time most of abbreviative adverbs belong to the category of action mode and only a few adverbs are attributive. Most often, abbreviative adverbs occur as a substitute for syntagmatic constructions that are more capacious in terms of the number of linguistic signs – comparative phrases with an abbreviature as a main word. The process of abbreviative adverbs assimilation by the native speakers of Ukrainian language is also noticeable: in some syntactic constructions, there is a transition of adverb from its traditional prepredicate position (as a predicate modifier in place of a comparative syntactic construction) to the role of a subject modifier, a predicate or a modal word.
