This chapter presents the methods of investigation. It describes the research design, sources of data, method of data collection, object of the study, method of data analysis, and research procedure.

3. 1 Research Method

Holmes 1988, in Panou 2013 explored DTS Descriptive Translation Studies. She said that descriptive translation studies focus on three areas of research, namely product-oriented DTS text centered studies which aim at investigating existing translation, process-oriented DTS studies which are primarily interested in the mental processes that occur in translation, and function-oriented DTS studies which seek to describe the function of translation in the target sociocultural situation. This study analyzes the non-equivalence, especially non-equivalence at word level, non-equivalence above word level, and grammatical non-equivalence in interpreting. Though interpreting and translation are the same field, this study concerns on interpreting. Therefore, this study is as same as the study on translation concerning its process and result or process-oriented DTS. In this study, not to mention, a descriptive qualitative approach is used. Nunan 1992 suggests that qualitative research advocates the use of qualitative methods concern with the understanding of human behavior from the actor‟s own frame of reference, exploratory, descriptive and process oriented. Moreover, descriptive approach was used to describe the existing situations by collecting data. According to Gay 1981:153, a descriptive approach determines and reports the way things are. The descriptive approach is useful for investigating problems and report the research‟s result in which described, explained, and gave reasons for the finding of data arguments in the study. Here, the writer collected the non- equivalence in the target text, then the non-equivalence found were analyzed.
