• Abstract: The paper explores the generation mechanism from a perspective of prosodic grammar. We first point out that there is a tendency in Chinese for polysyllabic words to become disyllabic and explain that thorough prosodic template: Chinese prosodic words (prosodic template) are disyllabic. Then we account for the generation of acronyms based on Stress theory: most polysyllabic words, when acronymizing, keep only those syllables that carry stresses. 本文从韵律语法的视角出发，探讨汉语的缩略语生成机制问题。文章指出汉语各类多音节存在双音化趋势，并借助韵律模板解释予以做出解释，亦即，汉语韵律模板（韵律词）表现为双音节形式，从而在汉语发展的总体趋势上，双音节受到青睐。对缩略的操作机制，则运用重音理论加以解释，即多音节词语在缩略时通常保留词中承载重音的音节。
