book helps the writer to learn more about semantic shift which becomes the problem of study in this thesis. They also propose three kinds of problems that might be faced by
translators related to shift in semantic field. Pengantar Teori Terjemahan by Simatupang which is published in 2000.

CHAPTER III METHOD OF RESEARCH
3.1. Research Design
Nawawi 1995:61 states that method is conducted in order to reach a goal. Lying upon that matter, in analyzing the data which is to find the semantic shifts in the
translated version of Percy Jackson The Olympians: The Titan’s Curse novel, the writer uses descriptive-qualitative method because the data which are going to be
analyzed is explained descriptively. As quoted from Bungin 2001:124-125, “Data kualitatif diungkapkan dalam kalimat serta uraian – uraian, bahkan dapat berupa cerita
pendek”. Qualitative data is explained in sentence and description, even in short story. Azwar 2004: 126 declares
“Analisis deskriptif bertujuan untuk memberikan deskripsi mengenai subjek penelitian berdasarkan data dari variabel yang diperoleh dari
kelompok subjek yang diteliti dan tidak dimaksudkan untuk pengujian
hipotesis” Descriptive analysisaimstoprovidea description of the
subject of researchbased on datafromvariablesobtainedfroma studied group of subjectsandis not intendedtotestthe hypothesisAzwar, 2004:
126 Supporting the idea of Azwar, Djajasudarma 2006:11 states, “Metodologi
kualitatif merupakan prosedur yang menghasilkan data deskriptif berupa data tertulis atau lisan di masyarakat bahasa” Qualitative method is a procedure resulting
descriptive data in form of written text or spoken in language society.She also says, “Data yang dikumpulkan bukanlah angka – angka, dapat berupa kata –
kata atau gambaran sesuatu. Hal tersebut sebagai akibat dari metode kualitatif. Ciri ini merupakan ciri yang sejalan dengan penamaan
43 kualitatif. Deskripsi merupakan gambaran ciri – ciri data secara akurat
sesuai dengan sifat alamiah itu sendiri” The collected data are not in the form of number, but words or description of something. This is as a result
of qualitative methods. This feature is consistent with the qualitative naming. Description is the accurate overview of the data’s features itself
Djajasudarma, 2006:16 The purposeofdescriptivequalitativeresearch isin line with theformulation of the
problemandthe researchquestionorproblemidentification. It is because the objectiveofthis studywillanswer thequestionspreviouslyraisedby theproblems of study.
This objectivealsodetermineshow the writerprocesses the results ofthe research which is
