  • Chapter III Chapter III Research Methodology Research Methodology
    Chapter III: Research Methodology Chapter III Research Methodology 3.0 Introductory Remarks This chapter presents the research methodology of the study. It provides general framework, data sources, data collection, and data analysis of the present study. 3.1 Aims of The Research As explained in Chapter I, the study aims to discover two problems; (1) kinds of speech act that performed in the final round of Miss Universe and (2) the self images showed by Miss Universe’s finalists. Thus, the data are examined and analyzed to answer both problems. In general, the present study is devoted to answer the statement of problems as follow: 1. What kinds of speech act did the finalists perform in the final round of Miss Universe? 2. What self images did they bring forward through their utterances? 3.2 General Framework The present study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Creswell (1998:15) defines qualitative research as an inquiry process of understanding based on distinct methodological traditions of inquiry that explore a social or 49 Chapter III: Research Methodology human problem. Qualitative research focuses on specific situation or people and emphasizes on words rather than numbers (Maxwell, 1996 in Nurhasanah, 2008). Moreover, Denzin and Lincoln (1987) state that it uses natural settings to interpret phenomena by involving any methods. In this case, the methods which usually applied are interview, observation, and documents (Moleong, 2008:5). From those explanations, Moleong (2008:6) synthesizes into: Qualitative research is a research which aimed to comprehend any phenomena happened towards the research subject such as behavior, perception, motivation, actions, and etc holistically in a descriptive way in forms of words and language, in a natural specific context and using any natural method.
