ENGL215: Introduction to Linguistics

 NEOLOGISMS
 A neologism is a new word.

 We can understand the meaning of a new word because

there is a lot of regularity in the word-formation processes
in a language.

 In this chapter we will learn the different process of

creating new words in any language.
