D. Data Collecting Techniques

In preparing the data, the researcher did not only collect the data but also selected and classified the data according to particular classifications that had been prepared. In collecting the data from written sources, the writer applied simak and catat read and write technique. Sudaryanto 1993:132 says that simak and catat technique is aimed to record relevant data which match the objective of the research. The data collection of this research was done by making transcription according to its classification. The data were documented along with their context or setting to get a complete understanding on the situation. Therefore, the writer watched, listened, and took notes from the conversations in the Romeo and Juliet movie.

E. Data Analysis

Data analysis is a process of organizing and classifying the data into a patterned category and a unit of analysis in order to find a theme and to formulate working hypothesis as the data suggest Moleong, 2001:103. In analyzing the data in the movie, the writer worked under comprehensive framework in analyzing data. The framework used in this research consisted of the description regarding the types and the function of adjacency pairs. The data analysis in this study was done by observing the data obtained and then classifying them into three categories: the type, the function, and the preference structure of the adjacency pairs. 41 After the data were classified and analyzed based on the data sheet and theories in Chapter II, the writer drew conclusions. The conclusions were the answers to the objective of the study as stated in Chapter I.

F. Trustworthiness of the Data

Credibility in research is measured by seeing how credible the research finding is. Meanwhile, credibility is different from transferability. To achieve the transferability in this research, the writer sought and gathered empiric events related to the same context. The dependability was closely related to the data themselves. The last was the criteria of conformability; in this case, the conformability was to make sure that the research is objective. In this research, the writer applied the credibility and conformability to gain trustworthiness. To achieve the credibility of the data, the writer performed comprehensive observation on the data, so the data were regarded as credible. The credibility of the data was also obtained through triangulation technique. There are four main types of triangulation: by sources, by methods, by researchers or observers, and by theories. In this research, the writer used sources and observers. The sources of this study were in the forms of books, papers, journals; some written sources from internet related to pragmatics theories were also used in the research. In addition, peer discussion was conducted to check the data analysis. The researcher discussed the data with her colleagues from English Department who are majoring Linguistic and asked them to do the validation of the data.
