E. Data Analysis Technique
In analyzing data, the researcher referred to process on analyzing qualitative as data described by Powell and Renner 2003:
1. Get to Know Data
The researcher needed to read the text several times to really understand the data desired. Only quality data would be picked as samples. The sampling
took limitation only words, phrases, or clauses within sentence level involving cultural issues.
2. Focus the Analysis
The researcher referred to the objectives of the research to decide what exactly to find among abundant data and the targeting few questions. As stated in the
problem formulation, then, researcher focused to look on translation methods and procedures, translation style, and translation type of text reliability to later
summarize the whole quality of the translation product of Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist
and its translators. 3.
Categorize Information The researcher identified themes or pattern on selected sentences through
ideas or terminology used to organize them into coherent sub-categories of culture suggested by Roshan Institute: “language”, “arts and sciences”,
“thought”, “spirituality”, “social activity” and “interaction” “Definition of Culture”, n. d
..
As suggested by Weber in his theory on Content Analysis Research, all data gathered then should be inclusive and exhaustive; meaning
each of them fitted a sub-category and, overall, some of possible sub- categories para. as cited in Ratcliff, n. d..
Table 3.1 Information Derived from Questions and Their Sub-Categories Question
Sub-Categories a. What are the methods and procedures used in
the translated Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist? Form Change FC, Modulation M, Adaptation
A, Contextual Conditioning CC, and Footnote Conditioning FtC
b. How they the procedures and methods influence
the styles?
Metaphor M, Trite Metaphor TM, Metonymy My, Irony I, Zeugma Z, Periphrasis P,
Allusion A, Allegory Ay
c. What is its the translation type of text reliability?
Literalism L, Foreignism Fo, Fluency Fl, Summary
S, Commentary
C, Summary-
Commentary SC, Adaptation A, Encryption E
4. Identify Patterns and Connections Within and Between Categories
The researcher identified the possibility of same procedures applied on sentences under a sub-category and even might link sentences between
categories for their related ideas. 5.
Interpretation The researcher used themes and connections revealed among sub-categorized
information to attach meanings and significances to the analysis.
