Abstract: AGUILLON, ART LESTER A., BAYOT, MIRIAM JOY D., FIDEL, QUIANE SHANE M., HERRERA, DANIELLE MARIE B., MARTINEZ, DOREEN R. A Sociolinguistic Approach to Neologisms found on Twitter during the COVID-19 Pandemic. An Undergraduate Thesis Proposal. Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2022. Allen Jay Jimeno This study explored the neologisms found on Twitter during the COVID-19 pandemic. It specifically aimed to identify the frequency of neologisms and the most used word formation processes of neologisms found on Twitter. Moreover, it also aimed to identify the role of Twitter as a means of learning neologisms from the perspective of its users and explore the social needs that motivated people to create neologisms in society. The mixed-method approach was utilized in this study. Findings revealed that the frequency of neologisms found on Twitter had gained so much momentum during the pandemic surge. At the same time, blending occurred to be the most used word-formation process among the list of word-formation processes. Results also revealed that Twitter plays a significant role in learning neologisms. However, the present study found out that although Twitter neologism can be effective for others, some responded that it could be ineffective as not everyone is exposed to Twitter. It was revealed that self-expression, communication, explaining new concepts, disseminating information, and preventing misunderstanding are why people created and used neologism. In addition, the participants saw language's dynamic nature change gradually as a reason for the emergence of neologisms. Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic, Neologism, Twitter, Tweets, Social needs .
