Multiple processes happen when some new words made through more than one word formation process. For example, it can be seen in the word
“snowball” in the sentence “problem with the project have snowballed”. The word “snowball led” can be noted as “compounding‟ whereby “snow‟ N
and “ball‟ N have been combined to form “snowballed‟. The using of “have‟ present perfect tense can identify it.
