Abstract

Compound word is a sub-topic of morphology that is often used in English, either in written or spoken language. However, sometimes a compound word is interpreted simply as a word that consists of two different words but in fact, there are many compound words which consist of more than two words. It can be found in any writing, for example in The Great Gatsby novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. As a word that consists of two or more different words, knowing the structure and determining the word class of compound are crucial. This research focuses on two problems. The first is to find out the structure of compound words in The Great Gatsby novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and the second is to find out the types of the compound. This research uses theory of Ingo Plag to analyze the compound words and uses qualitative research methodology to analyze the data. The data were collected and selected by the technique of document analysis. In analyzing data, there are 75 compound words in The Great Gatsby novel, and 5 compounds among them are constructed by more than two words/roots. Those 75 compounds are constructed in 7 combinations based on word classes of modifier and head. They are noun + Noun, adjective + noun, verb + noun, adverb + noun, adverb + verb, verb + verb, and adjective + adjective. The compounds are classified into 4 types. They are nominal that consist of 65 compounds, verbal that consist of 4 compounds, adjectival that consist of 2 compounds, and neoclassical that consist of 4 compounds. From the finding data analysis, compound words can constructed of two ore more different words in different combinations and the word class of the compound can be determined by the head.
