Type of the Research

56 textual analysis, for instance, a book, an advertisement, a news report, a film, a speech, a music video, a memorial or statue, a building, and so on. In this research, the textual analysis was devoted to the identification and interpretation of verbal signs called conversation especially on the phenomenon of interruption reflected in High School Musical movie series. The analysis was particularly done to answer two research problems, that is, the types and functions of interruption. Finally, the procedures of analysing the data in this research were accomplished through the following steps. 1. The researcher rechecked the data which had been recorded and put into a data sheet. In this step, she read the entire data while compared them with the actual cases in the movie series to confirm that they were valid and relevant to the phenomenon under study, i.e. interruption. 2. The researcher identified and classified the data which had been verified based on the two research problems, i.e. the types and the functions of interruption, by referring to the theories used. 3. The researcher analysed the classified data by counting the frequency and the percentage of each category of the two research problems. The results of the quantification were subsequently displayed in a table. 4. The researcher interpreted the results of the data analysis. The researcher explained the findings of each research problem in detail in the form of narrative descriptions. 5. The researcher reported the results of the interpretations in some points of conclusion. To validate the report, the findings and interpretations were 57 first discussed with the triangulators and the research supervisors. Last, in the final part of the report, the researcher put in her suggestions for the future studies. In analysing the data, the researcher employed a data sheet to categorize the data into their respective categories. The form of the data sheet used in the data analysis is illustrated in a table below.

Troy: Kid’s party? Mrs. Bolton: Young adults. Now go, shower up. Troy: Come on. One more. Last one . Mr. Bolton: Real quick, real quick. √ √ At this time, Mrs Bolton tells Troy to get ready for the Teen Party which is about to begin while he and his father, Mr Bolton, are practicing basketball together in the gym. Since Troy still wants to have more practice, he begs his mother to do one last shot. Troys request is obviously supported by Mr Bolton as he elaborates on Troys idea by saying Real quick, real quick that overlaps with Troys last utterance Last one. In this case, Mr Bolton’s interruption belongs to the overlap type because he initiates the interruption at almost the completion of Troy’s utterance in which Troy as the interruptee still can deliver his complete idea. In addition, the function of the interruption is agreement since Mr Bolton as the interrupter does the interruption to show his support for Troy’s idea.
