In this paper, a novel system for the automatic identification and conjugation of Spanish verb neologisms is presented. The paper describes a rule-based algorithm consisting of six steps which are taken to determine whether a new verb is regular or not, and to establish the rules that the verb should follow in its conjugation. The method was evaluated on 4,307 new verbs and its performance found to be satisfactory both for irregular and regular neologisms. The algorithm also contains extra rules to cater for verb neologisms in Spanish that do not exist as yet, but are inferred to be possible in light of existing cases of new verb creation in Spanish.
