ABSTRACT
One of the features of a living language is that it constantly changes with new words finding their way into the vocabulary of the language. Languages’ vocabularies grow from time to time as a result of new innovations that continuously spring up in different sectors of life and human endeavour; one of which is the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), in the recent century. This study, therefore, explores the various processes employed by Nigerian Short-Message Service (SMS) writers in generating new words, by critically sampling and analyzing some of these new words to see the processes employed by these GSM users. It is discovered in this study that these GSM users have the capability of reducing any form of expression to the starkest abbreviation. Generally, the new words analyzed are in one way or the other in their reduced forms and this may not be far from the characteristic SMS requirement of limited number of characters.
