CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research Method
In order to conduct the research systematically, there are some methods applied. Library research is applied in this thesis in which a number of books about
linguistics, morphology, and dictionary have been selected. As Nawawi 1993:30 says “penelitian kepustakaan dilakukan dengan cara menghimpun data dari
berbagai literatur baik di perpustakaan maupun tempat-tempat lain”. Library research is carried out by accumulating all the data from various literatures either in
library or in other places. The information accumulated is about the type of reduplication; its definition,
theories, explanation with simple examples, and the description of data.
3.2 Source of Data
The source of data in this thesis is taken from folklores entitled Cerita Rakyat MInangkabau compiled by Edwar Djamaris. This book was compiled in 2001. The
data is collected from all of chapters in Cerita Rakyat Minangkabau by Edwar Djamaris.

3.4 Data Analysis
In explaining the result of data analysis, descriptive method is applied in which all the results that are related to the object of data analysis in this thesis will be
described. As stated by Nawawi 1993:27, “Metode deskriptif adalah prosedur atau cara memecahkan masalah penelitian dengan memaparkan keadaan objek yang
sedang diseliiki sebagaimana adanya berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang actual pada saat sekarang.” Descriptive method is a procedure or manner in solving the problem by
explaining the object which is being investigated towards the factual facts. Therefore, the overall analysis will be systematically conducted by
concentrating on the textual analysis with steps as follows: 1.
Reading the data 2.
Identifying the data which belong to morphemic reduplication by underlining them.
3. Classifying the morphemic reduplication in to the reduplication item
according to their group. 4.
Listing recapitulating the lexical item which occurs mostly. 5.
Making the percentage of morphemic reduplication. 6.
Determining the most frequent to the least.
In counting the percentage of data, the writer applies Nawawi’s social analysis method to find the most dominant type of morphemic reduplication in
Minangkabau language that is used in folklores by using Minangkabau language.
