E. Data Analysis
The technique of content analysis was applied in this research to examine the data. Then, to produce data analysis, the data comparison was organized. To
collect the data, the researcher read and took the data from the two data sources, Rumah Kaca and House of Glass. The researcher only collected the data which
concerns with culturally-bound expressions. After that, the researcher classified the data into relevant categories provided. The data were classified into categories
that employ the theory of culturally-bound expression, foreignization and domestication categories, and meaning equivalence. Then the data were counted
according to the categorization system to get the fixed number of each phenomenon in the tables. Those fixed numbers became the findings of this
research. The researcher also conducted the data triangulation by discussing with the consultants and his friends. The last step, the researcher took the conclusions
based on the result of the research.
F. Trustworthiness
According to Lincoln and Guba in Suharso 2006:18, trustworthiness in a qualitative inquiry is aimed to support the argument that the research findings are
worth paying attention to. In order to gain trustworthiness, the data must be checked against four criteria, they are credibility, transferability, dependability,
and conformability.
Credibility deals with the degree of validity of the data so the findings remain relevant. To achieve credibility, the researcher re-read the novels carefully
