Data Trustworthiness RESEARCH METHOD

1. Categorizing After getting the raw data, the researcher made a categorization system in form of table. The table contained lists of categorization of the proper nouns. 2. Classifying The next step to do after categorizing was putting the proper nouns with based on their types or categories along with their strategies. 3. Analysing After the classifying finished, the researcher started to analyse the data. 4. Discussing After analysing and getting the data finding, the researcher did not only confirm the findings to some employed theories, but the researcher also elaborated to ensure that the findings answered the objectives of the research. 5. Reporting The last step was reporting the findings and discussion gained from the research.

F. Data Trustworthiness

As stated by Moleong 2001, there are four criteria of validity and reliability to obtain the trustworthiness of the data. They are credibility, transferability, dependability, and conformability. In this research, the trustworthiness was gained by using credibility, dependability and conformability. Credibility is concerned with the accuracy of the data. In achieving credibility, the researcher performed deep and detailed observation on the data and applied theories from experts of translation, such as, Howard 2009, Davies 2003, etc to confirm the research data, so the data can be regarded credible. The researcher read the novel comprehensively and confirmed selected data which are in line with the research questions. Then, dependability refers to the stability and track ability of the changes in data over time and conditions. The researcher examined both the process and the product of the research for consistency to achieve the degree of dependability. To gain dependability of the data, the researcher used the triangulation technique. There are four main types of triangulation; by sources, by methods, by researchers and by theories. In this research, only sources and theories applied. The sources are in the form of the original and Bahasa Indonesia version of novel House of Secrets. For the theories, the researcher checks some books, journals, article, undergraduate thesis and some internet sources related to the research. Finally, conformability aims to measure how far findings and interpretation of the data which have been analyzed. The overall thesis including its appendix was checked separately by three English Language and Literature students, Krisna Bayu Aji whose major is Translation Studies, Nia Juliarti whose major is Linguistics, and Ulik Chodratillah whose major is Literature. Then, the results of the triangulated data were discussed and consulted with the thesis supervisors, they are Drs. Suhaini M. Saleh, M.A and Andy Bayu Nugroho, M.Hum. Both of them give advice regarding the mistakes occurred inside the thesis. 39
