In order to review the transgression rule proposed by Freixa (2010) regarding the possibility of new creations becoming established in a language, alphanumeric neological constructions from Spain and Argentina from the period 2015 to 2023 are analysed following a mixed methodology involving database and corpus analysis, contrasts with positions in the relevant literature and consultations with speakers and experts in morphology. The analysis of four types of alphanumeric compounds showed that alphanumeric compounds form a minuscule part of the neologisms computed in the period in question. While proving that alphanumeric compounds transgress neological rules, it is also documented that this position does not prevent their use beyond the level of occasionalism predictable for transgressive forms and that they even lead to the formation of new lexical patterns. It is concluded that the mechanism of analogy, the fact that many of the alphanumeric compounds are loans and that they have passed from technical registers into the common language through comercialisation influenced the lexicalisation of the neologisms in question.
