The study delved into the formation of slang terms on English and Vietnamese social media in 2023, utilizing a theoretical framework that combines the works of Yule (2010), Meyer (2009), Schmid (2015), and Le (2023). Employing a quantitative method to analyze the data, the researchers discovered several instances of various word formation processes in both languages. In English, this study found 14 cases of meaning extension, 5 of acronyms, 5 of coinage, 4 of clipping, 3 of compounding, 1 of conversion, and 1 of syllable change. Meanwhile, Vietnamese had 13 cases of meaning extension, 8 of borrowing, 8 of syllable change, 7 of compounding, 6 of multiple processes, and 2 of coinage. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the field of linguistics by expanding our knowledge of word formation processes.
