Trnava: University of SS Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, 2020, V (2), December 2020, p. 2-52. ISSN 2453-8035 Abstract: The present paper examines the nature, formation patterns, types, and correlations of poreionymic backronyms, i.e. phrases serving as alternative interpretations of acronyms and non- acronyms designating transport brands, namely cars, both on theoretical and empirical planes. Since backronyms are likely to be confused with other linguistic phenomena, such as acrostics, apronyms, disabbreviations, and recursive acronyms, the differences between these notions are also analysed in the article. Key words: backronym, poreionym (transport brand name), acronym, non-acronym, acrostic, apronym, disabbreviation, recursive acronym, language game. 1.
