Type of Study Research Instrument

E. Data Analysis

Vanderstoep and Johnston 2009:258 state that the results of qualitative research are presented in a section named data analysis. Data analysis is a process in which the researcher classifies and organizes the data which are already obtained into the basic unit of analysis. There were some steps which were used by the researcher to analyze the data. 1. Identifying the data The first step was identifying the data. The researcher identified the data to categorize them into the types and strategies of maxim flouting. 2. Classifying and coding the data Then, the researcher classified and coded the identified data in the data sheet based on types and strategies of maxim flouting to distinguish them from each other and make them easy to be understood. 3. Analyzing the classified and coded data After classifying and coding the data, the researcher started to analyze the data. The researcher interpreted each datum to answer the research questions. 4. Checking the accuracy of the analyzed data The researcher checked the accuracy of the data again before concluded the data. 5. Reporting and drawing conclusion of the data After checked the accuracy of the data, the researcher reported the data in the findings and discussions. Then the researcher drew conclusions.

F. Data Trustworthiness

Trustworthiness has functions as a means of measuring the reliability, and objectivity of the research findings. Lincoln and Guba in Flick 2009:392 states that trustworthiness, credibility, dependability, transferability and conformability are the criteria for qualitative research. Moreover, Vanderstoep and Johnston 2009: 179 state that data trustworthiness can be gained by conducting triangulation. Therefore, in gaining the trustworthiness, the researcher conducted triangulation. In doing this, the researcher consulted his research continually with lecturers who are experts in this field. Besides, the researcher also conducted triangulation of data by having peer discussions and checking the data for several times to ensure their accuracy. The peer editors were Ahmad Dzaky Hasan and Arif Triwidiatmoko. They are student of English Language and Literature study program majoring in linguistics. Through their analysis, the trustworthiness of the data was checked again to ensure the suitability of the theories and the research.
