3.1. Research Method

In completing the analysis, library research is applied by reffering to relevant the theories to support this analysis from written sources, such as text books, thesis, and dictionaries.

3.2. Data Collecting Method

The primary source of the analysis is a half of conversation in the movie entitled The Pursuit of Happyness. The data are collected by applying purposive sample method, as proposed by Hadi, 2004:91 who says : “ Dalam purposive sampling, pemilihan sekelompok subjek didasarkan pada ciri-ciri atau sifat-sifat populasi yang sudah diketahui sebelumnya. Purposive sampling didasarkan atas informasi yang mendahului tentang populasi dan informasi ini tidak dapat diragukan lagi.” Because of the limited of time so it is only selecting the data that can be the representatives of the whole data here, that can give an approve and to achieve an answers about five language styles that occurs in the movie. According to me it is more than enough. The movie consists of 57 scenes and the duration is 116 minutes. I use a sample only a half of that, approximately about 58 minutes at the beginning, and there are 30 scenes as the sample. I collected the data by watching and have a dialogue transcript from the movie. And the theory used is Martin Joos’s which discusses the five language styles, encompassing: frozen style oratorical style, formal style deliberative style, consultative style, casual style, and also intimate style.

3.3. Data Analysis Method

It is a descriptive qualitative method. As Nazir 1998:64 says that descriptive method is a method of research that makes the description of the situation of event or occurrence. And it will be used in analyzing the data by giving a description about five language styles. Even I use the percentage too, but at the conclusion it will give an explanation. In order to find out which types of language styles occur the most in that movie, Bungin’s formula 2005 : 171-172 is used : n = N Fx x 100 n = percentage of types Fx = total types frequency of the sub-category N = total types of all categories In analyzing the data, the procedures are conducted as follows : • The data are collected from the movie by gaining the transcript of the conversation occurred in the movie. • The data are selected and grouped into the five language styles. • The data transcript are classified and identified based on their styles. • The data are analyzed. • The results of the analysis are concluded.

These data are classified into formal style because the dialogue was in serious condition that occurred in the office building where the applicant must wore formal suit in an interview. Formal style also used in speaking to a single hearer. In this CLASSIFIED BASED ON THEIR TYPES 4.1 FROZEN STYLE There is no frozen style found in the data of this research.
