a. the researcher found The Da Vinci Code movie which is considered
appropriate with the research topic, b.
then she watched The Da Vinci Code movie, c.
then she downloaded the movie script from the website: www.yifysubtitles.com,
d. the researcher collected the data which were considered as entailment,
e. the researcher classified the data based on the types and orders of entailment,
f. the researcher found the approaches to detect entailment in the movie, and
g. the data were transferred into the data sheet.
D. Research Instrument
There were two instruments used in this research: primary and secondary instrument. The primary instrument of this study was the researcher herself as she
collected and analyzed the data by herself. Lincoln and Guba in Vanderstoep and Jognston, 2009: 188-9 explain that the best instrument for qualitative study is
human because human has undergone experiences. In accordance with this, Given 2008: 737 clarifies that the primary instrument of qualitative research is the
researcher because the researcher takes her own views, beliefs, feeling, and assumptions along the research. As the primary instrument, the researcher planned
the research, collected the data, analyzed the data, and reported the data result. The researcher also used the data sheet as the secondary instrument in the study.
Therefore, the form of the data sheet is presented in the following table.

1.
Naveu: Your God doesn’t
forgive murderers.
He
BURNS them.
√ √
√ Silas was going to murder
Naveu, so Naveu convinced him by uttering those
sentences. From
those sentences,
one-way entailment can be seen
from the truth of God burns them
means God does not forgive
murderers. However, if God does not
forgive murderers,
He would also do something
else to the murderers; not just burning them. Naveu
stresses the word burns as she wants Silas to be afraid
and stop his attempt to kill her.
Therefore, the
entailment of the sentences is detected by applying
contexted clause approach because there is flattening
in the sentences.
