This research aimed to determine the types and the most commonly used word-formation type on twenty posters on @infolomba on Instagram taken from October 2019 to February 2020. The researchers used distributional analysis to analyze the structure of new words by breaking the morpheme elements. The researchers found 360 data considered as new-word formations on English posters. This study exhibits that derivation, inflection, conversion, compounding, abbreviation, acronym, blending, clipping, borrowing, and reduplication were word-formation types in creating new words on posters. The researchers also found the double words formation process, such as compounding + derivation, compounding + inflection, compounding + abbreviation, compounding + conversion, and derivation + inflection. In conclusion, the abbreviations on posters were English posters' most commonly used word-formation type.
