CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
In this chapter, the aspects of research that were applied in this research are explained. There are six aspects in total, they are types of study, research instrument,
forms, contexts, and sources of data, techniques of data collection, techniques of data analysis and data trustworthiness.
A. Types of Study
Descriptive qualitative is a research which has descriptive nature Jensen and Jankowski, 1991:44. Since this research deals with describing maxim flouting, it is
considered as a qualitative research. The purpose of the use of the qualitative design was to explain the types of maxim flouting and also the strategies used in maxim
flouting performed by the main character of Philomena movie. The object of this research was a movie, and therefore the method above was applied to analyze the
whole movie. However, the researcher also used quantitative method which is limited to determine the percentage of the data. In other words, this research belongs to
qualitative-quantitative research.
B. Research Instruments
Heigham and Croker 2009:11 state that the primary research instrument in qualitative research is the researcher himherself. Therefore, the researcher became
the main instrument of this research. Data sheet also became an instrument in this research and was used to illustrate the data.

C. Forms, Contexts, and Sources of Data
In this research, the forms of the data were lingual units consisting of words, phrases, clauses and sentences in the Philomena movie. The contexts of the data were
dialogues which contain maxim flouting since the object of the research was a movie, which has a lot of dialogues. The sources of the data were Philomena movie and its
transcript.
D. Techniques of Data Collection
Denscombe 2007:286 states that qualitative data take the form of words and visual images. In addition to Denscombe, Vanderstoep and Johnston 2009:189 state
that visual analysis, e.g. interpretation of films and television programs, which mediated communication texts, is one of data collecting techniques. Therefore, in
conducting this research, the data were collected by using visual analysis. They were collected from the dialogues that contained maxim flouting in the movie and also
from the transcript of the movie. The steps that were used by the researcher are described as follows.
First, the sources of the data were downloaded. Next, the researcher watched the movie and carefully checked the script and the dialogue to ensure the accuracy.
The last step is the identification of the data.
