CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research Method
In completing this thesis, library research is applied by using Nawawi theory 1991:30 who says that library research is a research done by
collecting data from many kinds of literature, whether in the library or any other places. Literature used is not only limited on books but also in the magazines,
newspaper and another written documentation. Relevant studies is also used to support the analysis. From that literature, there are theories, opinion, ideas found
within it which can be used to analyze and solve the problem investigated
3.2 Data Collecting Method
Documentation method is applied in collecting the data. As Nawawi 1991:133 says this is a kind of technique of collecting the data by categorizing
and classifying the written document that has relation with the problem discussed. In this method, the check list is done to write down the variable has
been obtained. If there are any variable found, it has to be marked with a check mark.
All of the data in research called population. Population means the total object in the research. The population in this research are all the utterances
in each chapter 48 chapter of the novel which contain expressive illocutionary acts. There are 185 utterances as the population.
Purposive sampling is used as the technique in taking the sample. Nawawi explains this kind of sampling is taking the unit of sample that is
Universitas Sumatera Utara
appropriate and suitable to the purpose of analysis. Thus, all the population is taken as samples in this research.
3.3 Data Analysis Method
Descriptive method is applied in the data analysis that tries to reveal the aspects investigated completely by describing the objects condition as the
way they are fact finding. One of the procedures in the method used, that is, content analysis Nawawi, 1991:68.
The systematic steps in doing this kind of analysis are as follows: -
First the novel is read and the stories is understood. -
Then the conversation in the novel is focused on and the utterance which has expressive illocutionary acts in the conversation is identified.
- The expressive illocutionary acts is classified into their specific categories
and the way of their performing is determined. -
Moreover, Nawawi’s formula is applied to count the percentage of data, to find the most dominant type of expressive illocution and the way it is
performed. The formula is : X
- Last step, the conclusion is made from the finding and the counting of data.
x 100 = N Y
Notes : X : number of the subcategories of expressive illocutionary acts
Y : number of all data N : percentage of subcategories of expressive illocutionary acts
