There are some steps which will be taken in doing the analysis. First, I will collect the data from some books. Then the second step, I will analyze the data from aspect of form,
distribution, function and meaning. Finally, I will contrast them and make a general conclusion from the analysis.
1.6.1 Research Method
The methodology research is aimed to solve the problem by describing the facts and data systematically based on the recent fact. Nawawi 1991:61 in his book entitled
“Metode Penelitian Bidang Sosial” says that there are two methods of research. Those are library and field research method. The first is done by collecting the data from books,
newspapers, magazines, journals and other written sources, whereas the last one is done by asking such designed questions to a certain group of people in collecting data.
I will do library research. Library research is the method which is supplied by collecting data or information from references which have been written by linguists or
other experts. In addition to library research, the writer also uses descriptive method. Nawawi
1995:67 states, “Metode deskriptif dapat diartikan sebagai prosedur atau cara memecahkan masalah penelitian dengan memaparkan keadaan objek yang diselidiki
seseorang, lembaga, masyarakat, pabrik, dan lain-lain sebagaimana adanya, berdasarkan, fakta-fakta yang aktual pada saat sekarang”.
In writing this thesis, I try to apply a systematic theory to describe suffixes in English and Achenese with their kinds and examples. The proposes some examples of
Universitas Sumatera Utara
suffixes in English and Achehnese and finally takes the correspondence, partly- correspondence, and non-correspondence of two languages suffixes.
1.6.2 Data Collecting Method
The collecting data is very important. In this analysis, I analyze English and Achehnese in suffixes from aspects of form, distribution, function, and meaning. I collect
some references which are related to this thesis. One of the books that I use for the data in Achenese is Bahasa Aceh Drs. Budiman Sulaiman and the books that I use for the data
in English are Morphology: The Descriptive Analysis of Words Nida, Eugene A, Contemporary English Grammar Murthy, Jayanthi Dakshina, and the other thesis that
can be a source of the data of suffixes in English.
1.6.3 Data Analysis Method
