Abstract

This study used Lieber (2009) and Plag’s (2002) compound word formation frameworks. The data were obtained from ten news articles related to the COVID-19 pandemic using a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that there were so varied types of the derivation of compound word processes, namely coordinative, subordinative, and attributive. Meanwhile, based on the stress of compound, the study found that there were noun compound, endocentric compounds, exocentric compounds, and copulative compounds. The results of this study indicated that attributive compounds and subordinate compounds are equally dominant in the analysis.
