43 Indonesia was pursuing the same positive and constructive approach through Bali
Democracy Forum. In this case, Indonesia was recognized as the special responsibility as host of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations Global
Forum in 2014 aimed to promote “unity in diversity”. The third transcript was delivered at an Indonesia perspective on the Indo-
Pacific at the conference of Indonesia on 16 May, 2013 in Washington DC. In this speech, he emphasized on the “peace-dividend” of Indo-Pacific. In this regard,
there are three challenges highlighted. The first challenge was related to “trust- deficit”. It built mutual trust and confidence among Indo-Pacific country; and to
substitute the vicious cycle of tensions with a virtuous cycle trust and confidence- building. The second challenge was regarding unresolved territorial claims. Each
Indo-Pacific country must require a commitment from parties to a territorial dispute to respect certain code of behavior or conduct in the affected area.
Meanwhile, the last challenge was related to managing the impact of change. In his point of view, he believed that “a pacific” Indo-Pacific region requires a new
paradigm that lead to a fresh perspective in which promotes a “dynamic equilibrium”. A dynamic equilibrium was thus marked by an absence of
preponderant power which is not through the rigidity, rivalry, and common tensions of the pursuit of a balance of power model.
D. Instruments and Data Gathering Techniques
In order to obtain the accurate data analysis on this research, the researcher employed two instruments. Those instruments were a human instrument and a
44 document instrument discourse. A human instrument is the primary instrument
for gathering and analyzing the data in qualitative research Ary et al., 2010, p.424. It started from determining the focus of the research, choosing the data
sources, collecting the data, assessing the quality of the data, analyzing the data, interpreting the data, and drawing conclusions on the findings. Therefore, as the
human instrument, the researcher took an important role in analyzing the patterns of noun phrases with post-noun modifiers.
Besides, a document instrument discourse also took a part in qualitative research typically in discourse analysis. The documents discourses were taken
from three speech transcripts delivered by the 17
th
Indonesian Foreign Minister, Marty Natalegawa. At that time, he spoke as an Indonesia envoy in the United
Nations General Assembly in New York; and at the conference on Indonesia in Washington DC. According to those three transcripts, the noun phrases were
classified based on the relevant theories presented in the review of related literature. It followed, that, the researcher contributed two observation forms as
shown in the following table -- table 3.1 and table 3.2. These tables were depicted to collect and digest those each pattern of post-noun modification.
In table 3.1, the table was depicted to classify the patterns of post-noun modification employed in the transcripts. To ease the analysis, the classifications
of the data were grouped based on each transcript as presented as follows:

Since the data were classified into three tables based on each transcript, the researcher employed code number in order to ease and denote the noun
phrases’ position occurred in the transcripts. The code number enabled the readers to establish the noun phrase in the transcripts. One example of the existing code
number is MN1NP2. In that code number, MN denoted the speech transcripts delivered by Marty Natalegawa. It followed, that, the number 1 to 3 which occurs
next to MN referred to the sequence series of the transcripts. NP symbolized the
