Abstract: 
In a text, the kinds of words are found in many different word-
formations. Therefore, every language shows new words such as inflection, 
derivation, and compounding. However, those methods cannot be used 
generally when it comes to texts. It can be determined whether a word is a 
noun or a phrase by a number of factors. As a result, this research will 
provide precise information about how compounding is used in the text. The 
research objectives are (1) What kinds of compound words found in the life 
and style columns of the Jakarta Globe article? (2) How the English 
compound words described in the life and style columns of the Jakarta Globe 
article? Further, this research employs a qualitative approach as suggested 
by Creswell (2014). The data were taken from an article in one of English 
newspapers in Indonesia entitled "Designers of the Runaway as Jakarta 
Fashion Weeks Takes off" from the life and style column in Jakarta Globe. 
The finding of the research showed that there were two types of compound 
words that found in the article entitled "Designers of the Runaway as Jakarta 
Fashion Weeks Takes off" from the life and style column in the Jakarta Globe. 
Those are exocentric and endocentric compound words. Besides, noun 
compound, verb compound, and adjective compound are the lexical 
categories that were produced by the process of compounding.
