RESEARCH METHOD POPULATION, SAMPLE, AND THE SOURCE OF DATA

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD

There are some methods applied in conducting this research. Sudaryanto 1993:3 states that method is a kind of systematical work plan in order to make a research works easier so that the research can achieve its main purpose. This chapter contains four parts, they are research method; data sources, population, sample, and sampling technique; methods of collecting data; and methods of analyzing data.

3.1. RESEARCH METHOD

The method used in this research is descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Descriptive method is a method that illustrates the characteristics of a population factually and accurately Djajasudarma, 1993:16. Isaac Michael 1987:42 adds that descriptive method provide a systematic, factual, and accurate description of a situation of area. Descriptive means describe, make a note, and analyze the conditions that occur. According to Djajasudarma 1993:10, there are two types of approach in a research; they are quantitative approach and qualitative approach. The writer applies qualitative approach because the data are consisting of the words, not the numbers. This research is called a qualitative one because the collected data are in the forms of sentence.

3.2. POPULATION, SAMPLE, AND THE SOURCE OF DATA

According to Koentjaraningrat 1997:115, population is the whole research data. In the other words, population is all of the subjects that are taken in a research. So all of the headlines that are published in detiknews.com from 1 st until 7 th of January 2015 become the source data of this research. Then, sample is a subject of population. Burns 1995:63 said that sample is “any part of a population regardless of whether it is representative or not”. In this research, the headlines that contain code mixing and borrowing words in detiknews.com throughout January 2015 are the samples. The sampling I use in this research is observation of the words, phrases, clauses, and sentences that are mixed with Code and inserted by Borrowing in the headlines of news.detik.com. Then I classify those headlines into the types of code mixing and borrowing. For example: Thursday, 1052015 23:18 Ini yang Bisa Diungkap dari Black Box Pesawat Intra-Sentential Code Mixing
