CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
In completing the theoretical framework and the analysis on this thesis, library research is used by searching and collecting the references that support the
topics of this thesis. As primary data, the data of interview by Desi Anwar in Face to Face with Bill Gates are used. While books related to speech and psycholinguistics
and thesis related to speech errors are used as the secondary data. In doing the research related to speech errors analysis, there are data, methods
and designs of researches that are used in order to complete the analysis that will be explained further in this chapter.
3.1 Data and Data Source
The data that are used in the analysis of this thesis are utterances. Utterance does not have a precise linguistic definition. Phonetically an utterance is a unit of
speech bounded by silence. In dialogue, each turn by a speaker may be considered an utterance. Utterances are sometimes used by linguists in analysis and research in
order to get advancement of the study of language. Linguists sometimes use utterance to simply refer to a unit of speech under study. The corresponding unit in
written language is text. The source of data that are going to be analysed in this thesis is from youtube. The interview episode was broadcasted on May 17th, 2014 at 9 p.m.
The complete interview episode is downloaded from youtube.com.
3.2 Research Methods
Nawawi 1995: 61 states that method is a way which is conducted in order to
40
reach the goal. In writing the thesis, the descriptive method is used. As what Saifuddin 1998: 7 says “Penelitian deskriptif bertujuan menggambarkan
secarasistematis dan akurat fakta dan karakteristik mengenai populasi atau mengenaibidang tertentu” Descriptive research aims to describe systematically and
accurately facts and characteristics of population or of the certain field. In doing research for this thesis, both field research and library research are
used. Field research is done by collecting the data from the interview session in Face to Face with Bill Gates then the data are analysed based on the types of speech
errors. Library research is done through reading and collecting related theories from books and thesis related to speech errors analysis.
3.3 Data Collection Procedures
There are two procedures in collecting the data : 1.
The interview session of Face to Face with Bill Gates TV Program was downloaded from youtube.
2. The speeches in the program are transcribed into written text.
3.4 Methods of Analyzing Data
The methods of analyzing data that are used in this thesis mainly: 1.
Identifying the types of speech errors. 2.
Classifying the speech errors into 9 types of speech errors by providing atable and calculating the speech errors and then they were counted bypercentage to
look for the dominant occurrence based on Bungin’s Theory.Bungin 2001: 189.

The formula is :n =
�� �
x 100 n : percentage of one kind speech errors
fx : individuals frequency one kind of speech errors N : number of occurrence all kinds of speech errors
