CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methodology used to answer the research problems. There are six parts in this chapter. They are research method, research
setting, data sources, instruments and data gathering technique, data analysis technique and research procedure.
A. Research Method
This research used qualitative research. It was chosen because the research was going to deal with documents and description analysis, which did not need
any statistic formula. As Huda 1999 proposes, those which do not utilize statistical analysis and are confirmed to description of concepts or phenomenon
categories are termed qualitative. Thus, this method was considered as suitable for this study.
The researcher also used document analysis which also belongs to qualitative research. It was supported by Ary, Jacobs and Sorensen 2002, who
stated that “it is a research method applied to written or visual material for the purpose of identifying specific characteristic of the materials”. It was also added
that the materials could be textbooks, newspapers, web pages, speeches, television programs, advertisements, musical compositions, or any of the host of other type
of documents. Related to the theory, the researcher’s documents were English and
29
30
Indonesian subtitle of the Ice Age: Continental Drift. The method was conducted because the researcher wanted to analyze the idiom in the movie.
B. Research Setting
This research was conducted from August to November 2015. The researcher collected the data from the English and Indonesian subtitle of Ice Age:
Continental Drift. There was no specific place in conducting the research. It is because the subjects of this research were the English and Indonesian subtitle of
Ice Age: Continental Drift.
C. Data Sources
The data sources of this research were English and Indonesian subtitle of Ice Age: Continental Drift. It is a 2012 animation movie directed by Steve
Martino and Mike Thurmeire and also written by Michael Berg, Jason Fuchs, and Lori Forte. This movie is the forth sequel of Ice Age movies. Ice Age 2002, Ice
Age: Meltdown 2006 and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 2009 were the other three movies before it was released.
D. Instruments and Data Gathering
In order to analyze the data, the researcher used the document analysis. The documents that were used in this research as the data resource were the script
of English and Indonesian Subtitle of Ice Age: Continental Drift. Harvey 2012 states that a document refers to any cultural products such as hard-written
31
documents including letters, printed documents, printings, photographs, charts, maps, newspaper, video television programs and films. The Indonesian subtitle
was retrieved in August, 3 2015, from http:subscene.comu596363 and it was translated by Pein Akatsuki, the member of IDFL.us sub crew.
The main instruments for this research were Ice Age: Continental Drift subtitle scripts and Ice Age: Continental Drift movie which was released in 2012.
In gathering the data, the researcher watched the movie and read the subtitle of the movie. While doing them, the researcher listed down the idiom found in the
English subtitle. The next thing to do was, the researcher found the translation of the idiom in the Indonesian subtitle and put them into the table. Afterward, the
researcher classified the idiom and analyzed the translation strategy. The researcher also used some online dictionaries as the references. Those
dictionaries are used to help the researcher find the literal meaning or the meaning of the idiomatic words and phrases. Thus, both, the main instrument and
dictionaries helped the researcher in finding and analyzing the data.
