CHAPTER III METHOD OF RESEARCH
3.1 Research Design
Research is a careful, systematic, patient study and investigation in some field of knowledge, undertaken to establish facts or principles.
In research will produce data. Data are things known or assumed. According to characteristic, data can be classified into two types, they are : quantitative data and
qualitative data. Quantitative data is a data in a form of numeral, but qualitative data is a data without numeral form.
Supranto 1997:54 says,”Research design atau rancangan riset ialah suatu pengaturan syarat- syarat untuk mengontrol pengumpulan data di dalam suatu riset
sedemikian rupa dengan tujuan untuk mengombinasi segala informasi yang relevan ada hubungan sesuai dengan tujuan riset”. It means Research design is an
organizing requirements to control data collection in a research such is that with the purpose to combine all relevant information there is relationship according to the
purpose of research. In writing this thesis the writer use library research by reading and studying
some books that are related to the topic and make them as the references. In collecting data, the writer use sampling metode by writing only a part of population.
To reach the result of analysis, the writer use quantitative method which is described in numerical form. The source of data is taken from the novel Oliver Twist.

3.2 Data Collection
In collecting data that are related to the theories, the writer use some ways. The first one, I begin to collect some books that have connection to conjunction and
make them as the references. Second I read the novel Oliver Twist. Third, after reading the novel I look for the sentences that use conjunction and underline them.
Then I count all sentences that are using conjunction. The last step I take the sentences that use conjunction as a research.
3.3 Data Analysis
In analyzing the data,there are some ways tobe done. First having collected the data from the novel Oliver Twist, I find out the sentences which use conjunction in
the novel. Second I classify the sentences which use conjunction according to their categories. Third, I analize them. Then I count each element of conjunction to find
out the most dominant kinds of conjunction found in the novel. The last I make them in a form of table list, based on the formula Nawawi, 1993: 28
n =
�� �
� ���
n = the percentage of one kind of conjunction fx = individual frequency one kind of conjunction
N = number of occurance all kinds of conjunction
23
After finishing to count the data of conjunction in percentage, I determine the types of conjunctions, the kinds conjunctions and the most dominant till the least
dominant kinds of conjunction . Then I make some conclusion and suggestion.
