CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
To conduct this study, the writer used a certain methodology. This chapter provides the explanation of, first, the object of the study; second, the approach of
the study; and third, the method used in this study.
A. Object of the Study
The object of this study was a list of English- Indonesian code-switching taken from a novel titled
Unbelievable,
written by Winna Efendi. The novel used was the first edition and published by GagasMedia on 2009.
Unbelievable
is part of
Glam Girls series
published by GagasMedia. There were two novels published before
Unbelievable
written by different author,
Glam Girls
by Nina Ardianti and
Reputation
by Tessa Intanya. The data of the research were taken from chapter three of the novel because
the novel has a complex story. In chapter three, the author only told about one specific topic which was about the past of Rashi and Maybella, the main
characters of the novel. The English-Indonesian code-switching that was found in the novel would
be observed and became the data of this research. But the writer would be focusing on the English- Indonesian code-switching that occurred in chapter three
of the novel. Both narrative and dialogue part of the novel would be analyzed. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
