E. Data Collecting Techniques

The data in this research were the utterances containing turn-taking irregularities uttered by the main characters in The Last Song movie. There were some techniques in collecting data in this research. First, the researcher watched, listened and took note to the irregularities in the conversations in the movie . In other words, the data were collected by watching the film carefully and comprehensively in order to find appropriate information needed for obtaining the objectives of the research. After the data were collected, they were analyzed by theories of turn-taking irregularities to classify them. The last, after the data were analyzed and interpreted, they were transferred into a data sheet.

F. Techniques of Data Analysis

After collected and selected, the data were analyzed. Data analysis is a process of organizing and classifying the data into a pattern category and basic of analysis in order to find a theme and to formulate working hypothesis as the data suggest Moleong, 2001:103. The data analysis in this research was conducted through follows. 1. observing The Last Song movie and its script 2. transcribing the utterances in the movie 3. identifying the turn-taking irregularities in the conversations in the movie 4. Classifying the data based on the formulation of problems 5. analyzing the data accurately by grouping the data into their own types and transferring them into tables 6. reporting the result of the data after the data were classified and analyzed There is one data sheet in this research. It consists of types of turn-taking irregularities and type of reasons for turn-taking irregularities in the conversations among the characters in the movie. The data sheet consists of number, codes, types of turn-taking irregularities, types of reasons for turn- taking irregularities, and explanations for each datum.

G. Trustworthiness of the Data

Trustworthiness is very important to prove whether the result of the study is valid or not. Moleong 2006:326 states that there are four criteria as the basis to gain trustworthiness. Those are credibility, transferability, dependability, and comformability. To achieve the trustworthiness of qualitative research, this research principally applied credibility and conformability criteria. Credibility refers to the richness of the information gathered and on the analytical abilities of the researcher. Conformability, in turn, aimed at measuring how far the researcher analyzed the neutrality of cases. The findings and the interpretation of the data should be truly based on the data. In achieving credibility and conformability the researcher used triangulation techniques. Triangulation is a technique for checking the
