Data Collecting Method Data Analyzing Method

3.2 Data and Data Source

Source of data that used in analyzing the verb phrase is a magazine. I choose Tempo Magazine that published in April, 21 st 2013. There are four articles chosen in doing the analysis. They are Bribery In Room 1201 page 14 – 18, Fingerprints on ID Cards page 20 – 21, Budget Master In Senayan page 22 – 23, New Threat From Obsolete Clause page 31 -34. Four articles of the magazine could represent the whole of magazine in helping me to find the kinds of verb phrase.

3.3 Data Collecting Method

Nawawi 1991:144 states that sample is a part of population to represent the whole population. The data was taken by using Purposive sampling method. According to Nawawi 1991:157 in this technique, sampling is adjusted with the purpose of the research. In other word, sample is adjusted with the certain criteria, which is decided based on the purpose of the research as Nawawi 1991:157 says, “Purposive sampling adalah teknik pengambilan sampel yang disesuaikan dengan tujuan penelitian. Ukuran sampel the tidak dipersoalkan sebagaimana di dalam accidental sampling. pembatasan sampel hanya mengambil unit sampling yang sesuai dengan tujuan penelitian .” Purposive sampling is a technique of taking the sample which is suitable to the purpose of research. The count of the sample is no problem as in acccidental sampling. The scope of the sample only take the unit of sample that is appropriate to the purpose of research. Universitas Sumatera Utara

3.4 Data Analyzing Method

In writing and analyzing the data, a descriptive quantitative method was used. According to Nawawi 1991:32, this method can be used while research uses the data like numbers with some classification such as frequency, average mark, percentage, the dominant variable, and so on. The data processing as done through mathematical calculation with a certain formula. I will use it to collect the data and analyzes them to determine the kinds of verb phrase, whether tenses, aspects or active and passive voice. The data is analyzed in two steps. First, the data was identified. Second, the kinds of verb phrase that found in each article was categorized and classified. The classification is done by grouping the data depending on kinds of verb pharase. The purpose of grouping here are to find out the kinds of verb phrase in Tempo Magazine. In writing this thesis, the common statistic formula based on educational statistic also used to count the percentages of each verb phrase in a table. The table is made for making classification of each kinds of verb phrase. By the analyzing the data and counting the result of percentage, I will make some conclusions. Universitas Sumatera Utara The formula that used to count the percentage is : � = X Y x 100 In which: N= the percentage of types of verb phrase X= the number of types of verb phrase. Y= the total number off all types of verb phrase. 100= standart percentage. Universitas Sumatera Utara
