Abstract
This article presents research on the role of compound neologisms in Modern English and their semantic classes. The study on neologisms or the new words created in a language has been gaining strength lately and has been getting the attention of linguists. Especially, it is obvious that compound neologisms produce a feeling of curiosity since they frequently appear in the vocabulary of speakers quite suddenly. For this reason, scholars have tried to explain how they are created and have also tried to classify them into different categories.
