<br/><br/> This study investigated the verbification in the writings on English subject of  Grade 9 students. The researcher employed descriptive method of research and it used  purposive sampling technique. The essays of the Grade 9 students for the third quarter  were being subjected for analysis.  A total of 101 verbified words from 52 Grade 9 students were analyzed. The  Oxford American Dictionary was used to check the existence and definition of each  verbified words. The Equivalent Assessment of Nababan (2012) was used to analyze the  grammatical functions and effects of each verbified words to the sentences being used in  the essays.  In light of the findings of the study, the researcher concluded that the three word  formation processes exist in the 101 verbified words used in the essays. These are  Affixation, Back-formation, and Conversion. Moreover, there are words being verbified  which the root words do not exist in the Oxford American Dictionary. Some of these  words are online applications and game.  Students verbified words not just as part of the social media lexical items, but also  in academic setting, like it is part of the new feature of language. The means of  expressing is widely becoming the ground of producing new lexicons which has two  outcomes in the world of language: to be corrected, or to just be accepted and used as  long as people can connect and undesrtand each other.
