Abstract
This article analyses the general law of the introduction of the alien words and the incorrect use of the word “CEPA” (Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement) from the appearance, spread and influence of the acronym “CEPA”. It suggests the media use English acronyms carefully and not use the word as “CEPA” carelessly so as to maintain the purity of our language.
