Abstract

The public awareness of saving has created an impact towards the field of linguistics. Started from COVID-19 pandemic, people have strongly realized the importance of saving and emergency fund shown by the rising popularity of saving and investment products. In accordance with the growing fame and interest of the people in finance and investment, new terms are invented as there are many novel products and processes within the fields. These creations of new terms are the proofs that linguistics has been affected, particularly in the field of morphology. Therefore, this study aimed to find the new English financial and investment terms along with the techniques of the creation. The data were taken from articles published in Forbes and Yahoo Finance websites. Documentation method and note-taking technique were applied in collecting the data. Theories of word formation and morphological processes were applied in analyzing the data through descriptive-qualitative method. The result of the study showed there were thirty-two new English terms with twelve morphological processes found, namely compounding, blending, borrowing, clipping, conversion, initialism, acronym, derivation, inflection, coinage, multiple process, and onomatopoeia.
