E. The Technique of Data Analysis
Wiersma 1995: 281 argues that in a research, the process in which the researcher categorizes, describes, and synthesizes the data is called data analysis
process. In this research, textual analysis was applied since the researcher referred to the related theories played as the guidance in analyzing the data. To be more
specific, the procedures employed by the researcher in analyzing the data are presented as follows:
1. classifying the data based on the types of figures of speech;
2. describing the functions of the figures of speech found in the
speeches based on the selected and related theory; 3.
classifying each of the data based on the step of empowerment; 4.
analyzing and interpreting the data to answer the research problems; 5.
reporting the findings in the form of textual description and drew the conclusion.
F. Trustworthiness
Trustworthiness is needed to re-analyze the result of the research so that the knowledge produced in this research can be worth trusted for the readers
especially in academic reading. In other words, trustworthiness is important to achieve a trustworthy result of the research and to determine the quality of it.
Meanwhile, the quality of a qualitative research is measured through four criteria which are credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability Lincoln
and Guba, 1983: 301-328.
The cr edibility of a research depends on the researcher‟s in depth analysis
and the sufficient information rather than the number of the sample Patton, 1990: 169. Therefore, credibility is determined
by the researcher‟s ability in analyzing the data. However, Lincoln and Guba 1983: 316 argue that the credibility of a
research is impossible without its dependability which is measured by checking the consistency of the researcher in doing the research. In other words,
dependability and credibility are tied together. The third criterion of a trustworthy research, which is confirmability, is achieved through the researcher‟s ability in
demonstrating the neutral situation of the research interpretation Lincoln and Guba, 1983: 320. Since the variables of qualitative research are value-bound, the
result cannot be objective. Still, the result of a qualitative research must be confirmable. Meanwhile, the last but not the least criterion which is transferability
means that the findings of the research are applicable to the new situation Lincoln and Guba, 1983: 125.
In order to achieve credibility, the researcher applied triangulation technique. Triangulation utilizes something outside the data to verify or compare
them Moleong, 2001: 178. In this research, the researcher conducted triangulation by consulting the data with her first and second supervisors Titik
Sudartinah, S.S., M.A. and Niken Anggraeni, S.S., M.A.. Moreover, the researcher asked her three friends to check, recheck, and compare the
trustworthiness of the data. Meanwhile, transferability is achieved by reading and rereading to make sure that this research is able to be easily understood by the
readers and can be used by other researchers to develop or conduct the related
