CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1. Research Method
In this analysis the library research method is used. As quoted from Nawawi 1993:30 “Penelitian kepustakaan dilakukan dengan cara menghimpun
data dari berbagai literature baik di perpustakaan maupun tempat-tempat lain” Library research is done by collecting the data from any kinds of source in the
library or any other places. All the information about figurative expression from linguistic books,
internet, dictionary and any other source is used.
3.2. Data Collecting Method
The source of the data is the novel Millionaire to the Rescue. The original novel consists of 113 pages. In collecting the data written method is used. The
data are sentences that contain figurative expression in the novel and its translation. All the data that can be collected are … data of figurative expression.
Purposive sampling method is used in taking the sample for the data analysis of figurative expression.
Arikunto in his book Prosedur Penelitian 2006 : 139 states that “sample bertujuan atau purposive sample dilakukan dengan cara mengambil subjek bukan
didasarkan atas strata, random atau daerah tetapi didasarkan atas adanya tujuan tertentu. Teknik ini biasanya dilakukan karena beberapa pertimbangan, misalnya
alasan keterbatasan waktu, tenaga, dan dana sehingga tidak dapat mengambil

sample yang besar dan jauh” Purposive sampling is done by taking subject not based on strata, random or regional but based on several purposes and reasons as
the limited of time, effort and budget for taking the bigger, wider and more sample.
3.3. Data Analyzing Method

masalah yang diselidiki dengan menggambarkan melukiskan keadaan subyek obyek penelitian seseorang, lembaga, masyarakat, dll pada saat sekarang
berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang tampak atau sebagaimana adanya”. Descriptive method is a way in solving a problem by describing the facts of subjectobject of
the research as the way they are. Followings are the procedure used in analyzing. They are:
1. Reading the original novel Millionaire to the Rescue by Alley Blake.
2. The next step is identifying the figurative expression data in the novel,
and then underlines. 3.
After all the data have been collected, then classifying and analyzing the data.
4. Calculating the data to find the most dominant equivalence by using
Butler’s Educational Statistic 1985 in percentage :
Universitas Sumatera Utara
N = n x 100
analyzed in percentage ∑ n
N =
percentage of one kind of figurative expression n
= number of one kind of figurative expression
∑ n = total number of figurative expression
5. And the last step is making conclusion and suggestion.
