B. Form, Context, and Source of Data
Denscombe 2009: 272 says that the data of qualitative research are in the form of words spoken or written and visual images which are analyzed or
imaginatively produced. Every qualitative datum has different forms according to the object of the research. The data used in this research were in the form of
utterances spoken by the characters in Paranorman movie, while the contexts of the data were dialogues.

C. Research Instruments
Moleong 2001: 121 states that the researcher plays some roles i.e. as the designer, the collector, the analyst, the interpreter, and the reporter of the data
finding in qualitative research. Therefore, the primary instrument of this research
was the researcher herself. Meanwhile, the secondary instrument of this research was the data sheet which was used to note the conversation uttered by the

Perry Babcock:
Can’t you be like other kids
in your age and
pitch a tent in the yard, or have a
healthy interest in carpentry?
Norman: I thought you
said kids my age were too
busy shoplifting and joyriding?
√ √
Can’t you be like other kids in your age
is a positive
impoliteness example because Perry does
not accept Norman as the member or part of kids in
his age
and Perry
disassociates Norman from the typical kids in his age as
the realization
of this
strategy. Norman tries to offend Perry by opposing
his previous statement of what normal kids do by
reversing that he ever said kids nowadays are too busy
shoplifting and joyriding.
