Data Collection Method of the Study

1. Data Collection

The collected data had been taken from all of the directive speech acts of Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada movie. The writer only chose Miranda’s utterances to her subordinates which were contained the directive speech acts. The way the writer collected the data used the purposive way. The data itself was limited only for Miranda’s directive speech acts throughout the whole movie applied to her subordinates in The Devil Wears Prada movie. The first step to get the data, the writer watched The Devil Wears Prada movie for several times in order to understand the whole story. After that, the writer found the transcript of the movie entitled The Devil Wears Prada from the internet and compared it with the movie. The writer also underlined Miranda’s dialogues into the form of dialog list. The second step was identifying the listed dialogues which contain of Miranda’s directives speech acts which are applied to her subordinates as the data of the research. By using Searle’s speech acts theory, the writer identified Miranda’s utterances from the listed dialogues which were included into directive speech acts. The last step in collecting the data was giving codes on each type. The coding of the data in this research was as follows: a. The number of the data. b. The types of the directive utterances employed by Miranda to her subordinate are made based on its function. Based on the Searle 2007:107, there are some types of directive speech acts. Those types in this research are abbreviated as follows: i. Command is abbreviated into C. ii. Request is abbreviated into R. iii. Prohibition is abbreviated into P. iv. Question is abbreviated into Q. c. The forms of the directive utterances employed by Miranda to her subordinates are classified based on Holmes’ theory 1984. Those forms in this research are abbreviated as follows: i. Imperatives is abbreviates into Imp. ii. Interrogatives is abbreviated into Int. iii. Declaratives is abbreviated into Dec. To make the data easier to analyze the second problem formulation, the writer marked the data with code based on the leadership style theory. The writer limited the code into the function of major behavior as a leader and the leadership style which appeared from the directives speech acts. d. The functions of major behavior as a leader based on White and Lippitt in Herbert’s book 1976:381. They are policy decisions, planning, task assignments, and direction by leader. Those functions are abbreviated as follows: i. Policy Decision is abbreviates into Pol. ii. Planning is abbreviated into Plan. iii. Task Assignment is abbreviated into Ta. iv. Direction by leader is abbreviated into Dir. e. The leadership styles employed by Miranda to her subordinates are classified based on Lewin and Lippitt’s theory in Hebert’s book 1976:379-381. Those styles are abbreviated as follows: i. The Autocratic Style is abbreviated into AS. ii. The Democratic Style is abbreviated into DS. iii. The Laissez-Faire Style is abbreviated into LS. To make the coding data clearer, an example will be presented: 1CImpTaAS It means the data is number 1. C means that the type of that directive utterance is command. Imp means that the speaker uses imperatives form in uttering a command. Ta means that the function of that command is to give task assignment. AS means that the leadership style employed by the speaker is the autocratic style.
