This research discusses word formation process used in Beats Aparts novel By Alanda Kariza And Kevin Aditya. The aims to describe how are English word created and found out types of word formation processes. To analyze the data found the researchers applied English word formation in English morphology.This is qualitative descriptive research. The data were taken from Beats A parts novel By Alanda Kariza And Kevin Aditya. The main theory which was used in this research is taken from the book under the titleThe Study of Language,Third Edition byYule (2006).
