mental illness reflecting hallucination and delusion. Meanwhile, the abnormal behaviour of the sufferer which can be seen as a sign of this illness was
represented in the data of this research. The source of data of this research was a movie script which was taken
from httpwww.rottentomatoes.commthecanvas and it was cited on 31 May 2013. The researcher used the script to collect the data and take a note about the
speech abnormalities. According Kowal and Connell in Flick, Kardoff, and Steinke, 2004 :248, transcription is defined as the graphic representation of any
individuals behaviour in conversation. Therefore, the script is needed to represent a conversational behaviour between the main character and the other characters in
each scene. It may help to make visible characteristics for a complete conversation.
C. Research Instruments
This research involved two instruments classified as the main and secondary instrument. The main instrument was the researcher herself without the
intervention of others. As stated by Bogdan and Biklen in Wiersma and Jurs, 2009 :236, the researchers should keep written accounts of their own thoughts
about what they have collected from the data. In addition, a qualitative research includes the researcher as the core instrument, wherein the researcher’s use of a
self is a primary tool for data collection. As a result, the existence of the researcher influences the findings. In this research, the secondary instrument was
in the form of the data sheet. There were two kinds of data sheets, the first data

sheet representing the speech abnormalities and the second one representing accompanying behaviour in a schizophrenic.
D. Data Collecting Techniques
As stated by Wiersma and Jurs 2009 :236, data collection may be in the form of interactive or noninteractive. Interactive techniques require the researcher
interacting with subjects who are being studied. Meanwhile in noninteractive techniques, there will be no such kind of interaction. In this case, the researcher
used noninteractive techniques to collect the data that it did not involve the interaction between the researcher and the subject who were being studied. The
techniques included watching the movie and taking a note classified as collecting the data.
Actually, collecting the data is an important step in the research which shows what the data look like. According to Wiersma and Jurs 2009:235, the
main elements of collecting the data are 1 collecting data through observations, conversations, and documents; 2 taking a note to get the issues; 3 making
comparison of issues from different sources of information; 4 identifying codes or categories of themes embedded in the information; 5 writing memos to have
the connection between all codes; 6 sorting the information, in order to select codes, and memos to clarify the theory; 7 writing up the results in a way that
clearly communicates the theory that has emerged.

Thus, there were some procedures done in collecting the data for the analysis :
1. The researcher chose Canvas movie as the object of analysis and read the
script of the movie as the source of data. 2.
The data were organized and classified into the significant data dealing with the research problems,
3. Then, the data were categorized in coding process and they were divided into
two categories, such as language abnormalities and behaviour of a schizophrenic sufferer,
4. Last, the data were transferred into the data sheet showing the analysis itself.
In this case, in this research, there were two data sheets. The first data sheet was to categorize the kinds of language abnormalities of schizophrenic
sufferer in Canvas. The second sheet was to classify the accompanying behaviour experienced by the main character in Canvas.
