following diagram below shows the analysis of compound noun which occurs in the 
first sentence. There are chairwoman, chief executive, and fashion week. 
Chart 1. The analysis of compound word 
The word chairwoman above is formed from the words chair (N) and woman (N). 
Those words are from the same element that is a noun. It is formed by combining two 
free morphemes. Those are a nominal modifier and a nominal head. They show 
different types of gender. In this stage, 
the woman
is the head which represents 
someone as being female. The meaning of 
chairwoman
is not a chair for a woman. It is 
a woman who presides at the meetings of an organization. Therefore, 
chairwoman
is 
formed by noun + noun as a compound noun. This evidence is in line with G. P. 
Delahunty & Garvey (2010), Carstairs (2002), and O’Grady & Guzman (1996) divided 
compound nouns into noun + noun compositions.
The further evidence of the compound noun in the first sentence is fashion week, 
as shown in the following analysis below. 
 
Chart 2. The analysis of compound word 
The word of 
fashion week
derives from fashion (N) and week (N). 
Therefore, 
fashion week 
is formed by combining two free morphemes. Those are week 
as a nominal head and fashion as a modifier. The meaning of fashion week is a fashion 
industry event, lasting approximately one week. Thus, fashion week is a compound 
noun that is formed by noun + noun.
The third example in the first sentence is the chief executive. It is divided into two 
words which are shown in the analysis below.
