B. Data and Source of the Data
The object of this research is a movie entitled Temple Grandin. The data in this study were collected from the utterances spoken by Temple Grandin as the
main character in this film. This research deals with the context of conversation that was seen from the dialogues in Temple Grandin. The source of data is the
script of
the movie.
The script
was taken
from: http:www.springfieldspringfield.co.ukmovie_script.php?movie=temple-grandin.
C. Research Instruments
The research involves two instruments showing the analysis. The main instrument of this research is the researcher herself. According to Bogdan and
Biklen in Wiersma and Jurs, 2009:236, the researchers should keep written accounts of their own thoughts about the data that were collected. The secondary
instrument is the tables as the data sheets.
D. Data Collecting Techniques
The researcher used some steps in collecting the data. The steps are as follows.
1. The researcher collected the data by watching the movie and reading the script
2. The researcher took note Temple Grandin‟s utterances in the movie
3. The researcher compared Temple Grandin‟s utterances whether they are the
same as the movie script 4.
The researcher selected the data from the movie.
5. The researcher provided two data sheets to categorise the data. The first data
sheet is for the categorisation of the kinds of responses given by Temple Grandin, the autistic character in the Temple Grandin movie. Then the second
data sheet is for the categorisation of the features of autistic person represented by Temple Grandin, the autistic character in the Temple Grandin movie.
6. The researcher classified the data into data sheets by selecting which part of the
script that can become the data, and then putting them into the sheets. The part of the script which became the data is only the utterances spoken by Temple
Grandin, the main character of Temple Grandin movie. The form of data sheets are as follows.

E. Data Analysis Techniques
The data analysis techniques used in this research are divided into some steps. The steps are as presented as follows.
1. The researcher watched the movie and read the script to check
2. The researcher identified the character‟s utterances to categorise the kind of
responses and the features of autistic person 3.
The researcher recorded and interpreted the data into data sheets 4.
The researcher conducted the data triangulation by asking lecturers and friends 5.
The researcher took the conclusions based on the result of the research
F. Trustworthiness of the Data
Lincoln and Guba in Elliott, 2004 explain that to gain trustworthiness, the data must be checked against four criteria: credibility, transferability,
dependability, and conformability criteria. The researcher used the first level, credibility.
Credibility is a concept of internal validity which refers to the extent to which the findings describe the reality accurately to achieve the credibility of the
data. The researcher performed deep and detailed observation on the data, so the data could be regarded credible. The researcher read the data carefully and
comprehensively until the researcher got certainty that the data were in accordance with the research questions. The credibility of the data is also to get
through triangulation. Denzin in Berg, 2001:5 says that triangulation is lines of action that are used to describe multiple data-collection technologies, multiple
theories, multiple researchers, multiple methodologies, or combinations of these four categories of research activities.
In this research, the types of triangulation technique were by theories and researcher. There were some theories used in the process to support the findings
and analyse the data. The researcher also employed triangulation by researcher.
