Type of Study RESEARCH METHODS

51 Reasons for Maxim Flouting: CM : Competitive CV : Convivial CL : Collaborative CF : Conflictive

C. Form, Context, and Source of Data

The form of data in this research was utterances. Those were the utterances uttered by Solomon Northup that were containing maxim flouting, breaking the rules of being cooperative for certain reasons. These data were also presented in the form of number and percentage so the researcher was able to compare the categories in maxim flouting. In this case, the context of data was the dialog in which Solomon becomes one of the participants and flouts the maxims of Cooperative Principle. The data were taken from 12 Years a Slave script written by John Ridley.

D. Techniques of Data Collection

The technique of data collection used in this research was note taking by the researcher as the instrument. Furthermore, the process of data collection followed some steps below. 1. The researcher downloaded 12 Years a Slave movie completed with the script. 2. The researcher checked whether the script matches with the movie or not when watched the movie. 3. The researcher selected and classified the utterances performing maxim flouting in the movie. 4. The researcher transferred the data to the data sheet that was made. 52

E. Techniques of Data Analysis

Data analysis is the most complex work in a study, indeed in qualitative research. In the data analysis, content analysis was applied to find out the maxim flouting uttered by Solomon Northup in the movie. This technique of analysis analyzed the object of the study through the theories of maxim flouting. As Downe-Wamboldt says in Wahyuni, 2012: 122, content analysis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of a phenomenon. Qualitative data analysis is defined as working with data which includes organizing, classifying, synthesizing, and understanding the data, and also determining the data that will be presented Bogdan and Biklen, 1982: 145. Considering this definition, in this research, the procedures of data analysis were as follows. 1. Identifying To start the analysis, firstly, the researcher categorized the raw data that had been recorded. Some categorizations were made as a form of identification on the data of the research. 2. Coding After the identification of data was done, the researcher represented the data in code. Coding was used as a sign of categorization of the data in this research. Besides, applying this coding also helped the researcher to gain trustworthiness of the data during the analysis process. The coding systems were as follows. e.g. QN01TLCL --- QN : Quantity type of maxim flouting
