13 CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research Design
This study is going to use descriptive qualitative methods. The qualitative methods is characterized by its aims, which relate to exploring and understanding the meaning of some aspect social life, and they tend to generate words rather than numbers, as the data of analysis. The process of research involves emerging questions and procedures, data typically collected in the participant’s setting, data analysis inductively building from particulars to general themes, and the researcher making interpretations of the meaning of the data (Creswel, 2007). Descriptive research will answer the question and give detailed explanations about the result of the writer’s analysis.The writer chose qualitative research because this study aimed to understand the informal words used in "The Sleepover" movie and describe how the word formation is used.
To be more specific, Multiple sources of data is deployed in these qualitative methods. Multiple sources of data refer to gather multiple forms of data, such as interviews, observations, and documents, rather than rely on a single data source. Then the researchers review all of the data and make sense of them, organizing them into categories or themes that cut across all of the data sources.
In data analysis, the researcher uses the theory proposed by Yule to determine the kinds of word formation processes found in this movie. It focuses on the informal

word and what are they can be categorized in the word formation processes. The researcher used the movie's script The Sleepover.

3. Classifying the informal word based on the word formation processes 4. Interpreting the results of the data analysis.
15 3.3 Method of Data Analysis
