The object of this study was a novel entitled The Fellowship of the Ring written by J.R.R Tolkien. This research focused on the lexical problems dealing with the vocabulary used in the novel. The data were collected by using reading and note-taking technique. Meanwhile, to analyze the data, this study applied referential identity technique. This research conducted trustworthiness to avoid the subjectivity and to minimize the invalid data. The result of this study shows that there are two categories and three subcategories of content words revealed. The first category is noun, while the subcategories belonging to noun are proper noun and common noun. The other category is adjective in which the sub-category revealed belonging to this category is attributive adjective. Those nouns and adjectives are created in order to build the fictional atmosphere in detail and to make the story more interesting as a fiction. Then, to build the neologism, Tolkien uses several processes including borrowing from other languages, derivation, compounding, functional shift, back formation, clipping, proper names, imitation, and coinage. Each process has its own background of why it is applied to his work, including building the new words belonging to his fictional language. Meanwhile, the language functions employs in this study are referential and emotive functions. The two functions are intended to refer to the objects spoken of and to express the noises in the book directly or indirectly.
