A phonological analysis of neologisms in English children’s literature

الملخص EN

One of the processes of language evolution is the formation of neologisms.

Neologisms in English are not made up haphazardly.

As new words, their syllable structure should be determined by Sonority Theory.

This paper is an attempt to provide a phonological investigation of neologisms in terms of sonority theory in English children's literature which one day they might be widely used as normal words in the language.
