Data Collection Technique Data Analysis

30 Dependability is the use of an inquiry audit, in which reviewer examines both the process and the product of the research for consistency. Confirmability refers to the degree in which the researcher can demonstrate the neutrality of the research interpretations by providing an audit trail. Transferability is about the findings are applicable to the new situation. Those four terms simply lead to one similar goal to achieve, i.e. the condition of being able to be trusted ad to be accepted according to logical reasons. The principles in trustworthiness were employed to gain objectivity of this descriptive-qualitative research, which was in some way considered to be subjective since no quantified measurement were applied. A commonly employed technique to enhance this goal is triangulation. In general, there are four types of triangulation. It can be data triangulation, theory triangulation, triangulation through multiple analyses, and method triangulation. In this research, the researcher employed the first three types of triangulation. In this research, data triangulation was applied by using different sources of data to be analyzed carefully and comprehensively, i.e. the poems itself and the lines. In addition, the researcher also applied triangulation by theories obtained from various figurative language source books, and journals. The researcher applied the triangulation by asking another observer to verify the data and discuss them to get the sufficient and reasonable interpretation. The first person is Suhaini M Saleh, M.A., a lecturer in the English Language and Literature Study Program who has mastered the study which is relevant to this research, Stylistics. The second supervisor is Niken Anggraeni, M.A. who is also a lecturer in the same 31 study program. Besides the lecturers, the researcher also asked some of his friends to triangulate the data. They were Niki Septi P and Imam Santoso. Both of them are the students of English Language and Literature study program. Dependability is the substitution term of reliability in non-qualitative researches. In order to fulfill this criterion, the researcher read the data frequently to understand the transference of meaning used in the poem and to make some interpretations. During this process, the researcher conducted relevant discussions with other observers. Conformability is similar to what is called objectivity in non-qualitative research. The researcher made some discussions with other friends who study linguistics and English literature to make a judgment whether this research was objective or not. 32

CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

Based on the background of the research, this research was aimed to find out the types of transference of meaning and to analyze the function of the transference of meaning used in the first chapter of Complete Poems of Robert Frost entitled A Boy’s Will. Through this chapter, the findings of the research are explained into two parts, i.e findings and discussion. The findings section is filled by the table of the data contains transference of meaning and language functions. Meanwhile, the discussion describes the analysis of each type of transference of meaning and language functions found in the first chapter of Complete Poems of Robert Frost entitled A Boy’s Will.

A. Findings

There were two cases found in this research. The researcher found both cases in the first chapter of Complete Poems of Robert Frost entitled A Boy’s Will. They were 1 transference of meaning and 2 language functions. The finding of transference of meaning and language functions found in the first chapter of Complete Poems of Robert Frost entitled A Boy’s Will by Holt, Rinehart and Winston are presented in the following table.
