D. Data Collecting Techniques
There are some procedures that were conducted by the researcher in collecting the data. They were:
1. The researcher watched
The Dictator
movie. 2. The researcher searched and downloaded the transcript from the internet.
3. The researcher re-checked the transcript with the dialogues in the movie. 4. The researcher took note of the main character‟s dialogues which are in
accordance with the objectives of the research. 5. The researcher classified the data in the data sheet.
E. Data Analysis
According to Moleong 2011: 247 process of data analysis starts from reading the data, reducing the data, organizing the data into certain units,
categorizing the data, coding, checking the validity of the data, and interpreting the data.
In this research, the researcher re-read the data to identify some errors in data collection. Then, the researcher organized the data into some basic units of
analysis and categorized them with one table. The table was made to classify the types of maxim flouting, the forms of humor and the functions of humor. The
researcher also checked the validity of the data by asking friends and lecturers who major in linguistics. Finally, the researcher described the data in order to
answer the research‟s problems and drew conclusion based on the result of the research.
F. Trustworthiness
In order to test the validity of the research data, the researcher used triangulation. Triangulation is employing something outside the data to verify the
data themselves or to compare them Moleong, 2011: 330. Vanderstoep and Johnston 2009: 179 also state that the reliability of data can be gained by using
triangulation. According to Denzin in Moleong, 2011: 330 there are four types of
triangulation: by using other sources, methods, researchers and theories. In this research, the researcher used triangulation by using theories and other researchers.
The researcher used theory of maxim flouting by Grice 1975, forms of humor by Martin and functions of humor by Attardo. Furthermore, the researcher consulted
her research routinely with lecturers who are experts in this field. They were the researcher‟s thesis supervisors. Moreover, the researcher also conducted
triangulation of data with some students of the same of study program who are keen on the field.
