The study of neologisms emerged to be very wide and thus too extensive if all the dimensions were to be captured. This study only focused on the morphological dimension. Therefore other areas like the phonological, syntactical and semantic dimensions would give more insights when
studied. A more detailed survey of the speakers‟ perceptions and attitudes towards the neologisms would also be useful.
