RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. Research Type
In conducting the study, the researcher employs descriptive qualitative method. The researcher focuses on the activities such as collecting data,
classifying, analyzing, and drawing the conclusion. Whereas Sutrisno Hadi 1983: 30 states about descriptive method as a type of research, which only collects,
analyzes, and concludes the data without concluding them commonly. While qualitative method means a research procedure, which produces descriptive data
in the form of written or oral words of people and behavior, which can be observed Bogdan Taylor, in Moleong 2001: 5.
B. The Source of Data
The subject from which the data are obtained is called the source of data Arikunto, 1987: 162. The source of data of this research is literary work. It is a
drama entitled A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. The drama was divided into three acts, and had ten main characters. There were many utterances used by
the characters and it had many types of functions, such as commanding, informing, questioning, and requesting. Here, only the utterances that are
functioned as request is taken as the data. There are 33 of request expressions found in the source of data.
C. The Population, Sample, and Sampling Technique
Population is all of individuals to whom the facts which being got will be generalized Hadi, 1983. The population of this research was request expressions
found in the drama entitled A Raisin in the Sun. The number of request expressions in this drama was 33, so the population was 33.
The samples of this research are all the request expressions in the conversation in the drama A Raisin in the Sun. The research takes total sampling
as the sampling technique.
D. The Technique of Collecting Data
In collecting the data, the researcher did some steps: 1.
Reading the drama entitled A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. 2.
Selecting the data for requests expressions. 3.
Classifying request expressions from the data based on the request strategies that are used by the characters, based on the theory of Trosborg.
a. Hinting strategies HS b. Ability Willingness AW
c. Suggestory formulae SF d. Wishes W
e. DesiresNeed DN 4.
Finally, the code is given to each datum. The example of data coding was formulated as follows:
· 11702HS
From the example above, it can be explained that the data is number one. It is taken from page 1702. It belongs to type of request strategies of Hinting
strategies HS.
E. Technique of Analyzing Data
After collecting data, the researcher analyzes them by doing some activities. They are as follow:
1. Classifying the request expressions based on the classification of request based on Trosborgs theory.
2. Categorizing each data based on the category of indirect requests on the theory of Trosborg. They are as follows:
a. Category 1: Indirect Request b. Category 2: Hearer-oriented condition
c. Category 3: Speaker-based condition 3. Analyzing each data based on Grice’s theory of Cooperative Principle. They
are maxim of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner. 4. Analyzing the request strategies applied by the characters based on Trosborg’s
theory. It covers the request strategies of Hinting Strategies, AbilityWillingness, Suggestory Formulae, Wishes, and Desiresneeds.
5. Analyzing the implicature produced by each of the request strategy. 6. Drawing the conclusion of this research.
CHAPTER IV DATA ANALYSIS
A. Introduction
This chapter entitled data analysis intends to reveal the implicatures produced by the dialogs employed request strategies. This chapter will be divided
into three subchapters, namely introduction, analysis and discussion. Introduction describes the organization of analysis. The second subchapter
is data analysis. It is divided into data description and data analysis covering analysis of maxims, request strategy and implicatures. The third subchapter is
discussion. It talks about the interpretation of all data.
