This research also aims to classify and explain the morphological processes involved such as affixation, compounding, blending, and truncation. This research uses O'Grady's approach to analyze word formation, in analyzing the data the researcher uses qualitative methods and observation methods. In the end, the researcher found that some of the processes found in new English words in the online Oxford dictionary are Derivation (apophany, boomeranger, forensicate, etc), Compounding (chip fire, chiptune, Gen Z, etc) Conversion (ID, shitpost, bullwhip, etc), Borrowing (abhidhamma, anatta, sesshin, etc), Blending (goop).
