CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
3.1 Research Method
This thesis deals with descriptive qualitative method. It refers to a research explaining the analysis or a hypothesis of a research. The formula dealing with
calculating data is merely used to support the data analysis. The formula is not intended to be the main focus on the research.
This thesis is simply about fact-finding. Nawawi 1993: 31 states a research method that is limited on the effort of finding a problem or a condition or
an event as the way it is. In another words, this method is simply about fact- finding:
“Penelitian ini terbatas pada usaha mengungkapkan suatu masalah atau keadaan atau peristiwa sebagaimana adanya sehingga bersifat sekedar untuk
mengungkapkan fakta fact finding” In collecting the required data, purposive sapling in applied in this thesis.
As Bailey 1987:94 states in his book: “In purposive sampling the investigator does not necessarily have a quota to fill
from within various strata, as in quota sampling, but neither does he or she just pick the nearest warm bodies, as in convenience sampling. Rather, the researcher
uses his or her own judgment about which respondents to choose and picks only those who best meet the purposes of the study.”
3.2 Population and Sample
The data are gathered from a cassette recording the process of interpreting English sermon done by an interpreter. The cassette’s title is Suatu Perjanjian A
Covenant and the English sermon was brought by Rev. John Ollis.

3.3 Data Analysis Procedures
Followings are the steps done in collecting and analyzing the data: 1.
Obtaining the record of interpreting. 2.
Transferring the record of interpreting event into text form. 3.
Comparing the transformed texts, the sermon in English text SL and its translation in Bahasa Indonesia TL.
4. Contrasting the words in SL and TL in order to figure out the unit-
shifts. 5.
Listing the unit-shifts occurred as the data findings. 6.
Identifying the changes of rank occurred in the unit-shifts. 7.
Classifying the changes of ranks occurred in the interpreting. 8.
Finding out the most dominant change of rank occurred in the interpreting of reverend’s sermon.
In order to figure out the most dominant change of rank occurred in the interpreting, this thesis is going to apply a formula referring to Nawawi’s
social analysis method. Following is the formula of calculating the percentage of the data.
X: Number of subcategory of unit-shifts Y: Number of all data
N: The percentage of subcategory of unit-shifts X x 100 = N
