CONCLUSION
 
Based on the findings and discussion above, it can be concluded that there were 
several types of compound words that occur in the article entitled “Designers of the 
Runaway as Jakarta Fashion Weeks Takes off” from the life and style column in Jakarta 
Globe. They were seven types of compound nouns and one compound verb. Those 
compounds nouns were chairwoman, chief executive, fashion week, showroom, trade event, 
vivacity, and rainbow. Compound nouns is the commonest type of compound in English. 
In this stage, the position of the main stress is in the right-headed. Further, the word 
highlighted was found in the text as a compound verb. The example above is 
Furthermore, from seven compound nouns, there were two words identified as 
an exocentric compound that a compound named a subtype. The type is not 
represented by the head or the modifier in the compound. Those kind of words were 
not head. They were vivacity and rainbow. 
On the other hand, the compound words of chairwoman, chief executive, fashion 
week, showroom, trade event, and highlighted were classified as endocentric compounds 
which represent head where the endocentric compound consists of subtypes of 
whatever the head represents.
