CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD

Research method is a systematic work plan which aims to achieve. This research method was arranged based on the problem analyzed and the main purpose of the research. The research method in this study covered research design, unit of analysis, source data, technique of data collection, and the technique of data analysis.

3.1 Research Design

Nawawi in Lusiana 2006:33 states that “descriptive method is a research method to describe the subject or object of the research based on the fact or reality ”. Based on the problem analyzed, this research used a descriptive qualitative method, because this study had a purpose to describe and analyze the techniques used in translating GT-B3210 Samsung’s User Manual.

Finding the manual book of Samsung as the data. 2. Searching the data from Samsung‟s manual book. 3. Displaying two versions, English version and Indonesia version

3.5 Technique of Data Analysis

The technique of data analysis was the method used to analyze the collected data, the technique of data analysis were follows : 1. Reading the data The manual book in both versions was read several times to make it easier to be understood. 2. Selecting the data Selelecting the data every sentence whick contains translation technique in the source text. 3. Identifying the translation techniques The techniques were identified both in source text and target text. 4. Classifying The techniques were classified based on their types by Molina and Albir. 5. Analyzing The process of analysis was done by using the following steps: a. Collecting and presenting the techniques in the table. b. Calculating the percentage of the translation technique. c. Giving appendix and page numbers. d. Finding the techniques that are being applied in the translation work. e. Analyzing each word, phrase and clause in the sentence in the category of translation techniques f. Explaining why the word, phrase, and clause in the sentence belong to any of the criteria of translation techniques. 6. Drawing the conclusion 7. Concluding the translation techniques used in GT-B3210 Samsung’s User Manual.
