3.4 The Type of the Data
The type of the data in this research was artistic data. Artistic data is defined as “literal sources written or oral may be valuable for the description they contain, as
well as for the attitude s and values about language they reveal” Saville-Troike,
2003. Artistic data includes song lyrics, drama and other genres of verbal performance, and calligraphy.
In this research, the type of data dealt with artistic data in the form of drama. The written literal source came from the subtitle of the movie which consists of the
main characters‟ dialogue and the oral literal source seen throughout the movie. Combining these two sources helped the researcher to undergo the understanding of
the infringement of the cooperative principle and the meaning derived.
3.5 The Data Collection Method
Documentary method was applied to this research as the data collection method. Documentary method proceeded
by “abstracting from each document those elements which we consider to be important or relevant, and by grouping together
these findings, or setting them alongside others which we believe related” Blaxter, Hughes, Tight, 2006. In this case, the important elements were derived from the
main characters‟ utterances, Roman‟s and Sabian‟s utterances. The text script, indeed, provided not only the main character
s‟ utterances, but it also showed every utterance of every character who speaks. The researcher was demanded to collect the data of
the main characters‟ utterances indicating the infringement of Gricean Cooperative Principle from all the utterances the text script provided.
The data collection started at the second half of the movie and ten excerpts with 16 indicated infringements were selected with some considerations: 1 The main story
of the movie started at the second half of the movie, where another negotiator appears Chris Sabian to stand against the first negotiator Danny Roman who has appeared
from the very first scene of the movie and later Sabian stands with Roman to solve the case; 2 The ten excerpts were believed to point utterances where the important
parts of the story take place, namely: the orientation where the two negotiators are introduced, the complication what climax or main problem revealed, and the
resolution how the problem solved by the people involved; 3 The utterances before the ten excerpts the first half of the movie was not considered to be well influential
to the important points of the storyline of the movie.
