lxxxiii whenever a translator tries to achieve high linguistic acceptability, his choices of
words dictions, for example, are determined manipulated by the norms of the target language children’s literature, not by the source language norms. From
acceptability point of view, there are some criteria for a good translated children’s storybooks; they are: the book has ‘dynamic style’ i.e. simple syntactic
constructions, a high level of readability and speakability Puurtien, 1992: 85.
CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research methodology that reflects each step in doing this research. It is divided into
five divisions. They are research type and design, data
lxxxiv
and source of data, the method of data collection, research procedures, and the technique of data analysis.
Research Type and Design
This research is a qualitative research. Creswell 1997 defines qualitative research as:
an inquiry process of understanding based on the distinct methodological traditions of inquiry that explore a social or human problem. The researcher
builds a complex holistic picture, analyses words, reports detailed view of informants, and conducts the study in a natural settings. p. 15.
Since this research is reporting the inquiry in detailed information, the data are descriptive, in form of words. It means I described all the phenomena
happen within this research, including the tables and the numbers. This descriptive qualitative research is designed as single-embedded case study.
Single-embedded case study means that the subject of this research is a case that is specifically occurring within one certain material. Therefore, I decided to focus
on translation of personal reference existed only in CPBR which is translated from BB.
Data and Source of Data
As stated above, the data of this research are descriptive qualitative one. It is caused by a great attention on the content of information rather than numbers.
Therefore, the data are voluminous.
lxxxv Bognan and Taylor in Ryryn 2005 state that “…qualitative
methodologies refer to research procedures which prude descriptive data: people’s own written or spoken words and observable behavior.” p. 42. There are some
characteristics of data source in the qualitative research offered by Miles and Huberman, 1984: “… the data concerned appear in words rather than in number.
They may have been collected in a variety of ways observation, interviews, extract from documents, tape recordings, and are usually “processed” somewhat
before they are ready for use via dictation, typing up, editing, or transcription, but they remain words, usually organized into extended text”.
Based on the statement above, I have two types of data for my research. They are:
1. The book of BB and CPBR
