The thesis entitled “THE PROCESS OF COMPOUND WORDS USED IN MARTIN‟S NOVEL A GAME OF THRONES” is a morphological study which analyzes the process of compound words and the most dominant compound words used in Martin‟s novel A Game of Thrones. Descriptive and qualitative method is applied in this research. McCarthy (2002) theory is used in analyzing the process and kinds of compound words. Plag (2002) defines compounding (sometimes also called composition) rather loosely as the combination of two words to form a new word.The Findings show that there are three kinds of compound words used in this novel. Those are nominal compound, verbal compound, and adjectival compound. The processes of nominal compounds are formed of 3 formula. Those are „noun + noun‟, „noun + adjective‟, and „adjective + noun‟ formula. The processes of adjectival compounds are formed of „noun + adjective‟, „adjective + noun‟, „adjective + adjective‟, „adjective + present participle‟, adjective + past participle, and „noun + past participle‟, while the process of verbal compound is formed of „adjective + adjective‟. The most compound word used in Martin‟s novel A Game of Thrones is the nominal compound. It is about 60, 7% or 177 of 292 compound words in the novel. Adjectival compound is the second most used in the novel which is about 39% or 144 of 292 compound words. Verbal compound is the least used compound in the novel which is about 0, 3% or 1 0f 292 compound words in the novel.

Diantaranya adalah: Nomina, Verba, dan Adjectiva. Proses pembentukan kata majemuk Nomina adalah „noun + noun‟, „noun + adjective‟, and „adjective + noun‟. Proses pembentukan kata majemuk Adjectiva adalah „noun + adjective‟, „adjective + noun‟, „adjective + adjective‟, „adjective + present participle‟, adjective + past participle, and „noun + past participle‟, sedangkan pembentukan kata majemuk Verba hanya dibentuk oleh 1 proses, yaitu „adjective + adjective‟. Kata majemuk yang paling dominan di dalam penelitian ini adalah kata majemuk Nomina yaitu 60, 7% atau 177 dari 292 kata majemuk di dalam data. Kata majemuk Ajectiva adalah 39% atau 144 dari 292 kata.
