This chapter discusses participant observation as a method of data collection for studying social interaction in online multiplayer games and the communities within them. Participant observation has its roots in the social sciences, and especially in the field of anthropology. True to a natural inquiry approach, studies utilizing participant observation try to understand the actual habitat or “lifeworld” of those participating in the study. This chapter looks at various practical issues connected to conducting participant observation in online multiplayer communities. Examples of data collection are presented, including saving log files, capturing images and video, and writing field notes. Participant observation seems well suited for studying online communities since it can respond well to the challenges of the ever-changing technology and social situations, the need to take into account multiple channels of communication, and the complex and sometimes hidden nature of computer-mediated social interaction.

This study aims to reconstruct the possessive pattern of the Indonesian language in Ambon dialect with Indonesian standards. This research is descriptive qualitative. The data of this study were derived from the speech of the people of Ambon and surrounding cities who communicate using Ambonese dialect in Indonesian. Indonesian data was obtained from the translation of Ambonese dialects of Indonesian. This research was located in all areas of Ambon City and its surroundings. The time needed by researchers to collect data is for two weeks. The data collection method used is non-participant observation. There are two techniques used to support non-participant observation methods, namely recording and recording techniques. This study uses two ways in the process of data analysis, namely the equivalent method and the method of religion. The results of the study show that there are differences in possessive construction patterns (ownership) between Indonesian Ambon dialect and Indonesian standard. The difference is the location of the possessor and the different possessed. In the Indonesian language, Ambonese dialect, whatever the possessor category, both pronima persona, self-name, and not human, always precedes possessum. That is different from standard Indonesian, which is in the possessum construction pattern that precedes the possessor. Another difference is that the possessive construction pattern in the Ambonese dialect Indonesian language had the addition of the word pung between the possessor and possessed, whereas in standard Indonesian there is no addition. Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi pola posesif bahasa Indonesia dialek Ambon dengan Indonesia baku.

Data bahasa Indonesia diperoleh dari hasil terjemahan tuturan bahasa Indonesia dialek Ambon. Penelitan ini berlokasi di seluruh wilayah Kota Ambon dan sekitarnya. Waktu yang diperlukan oleh peneliti dalam mengumpulkan data adalah selama dua minggu. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi non-partisipan. Ada dua teknik yang digunakan untuk mendukung metode obeservasi non-partisipan, yaitu teknik rekam dan catat. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua metode dalam proses analisis data, yaitu metode padan dan metode agih. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan pola konstruksi posesif (kepemilikan) antara bahasa Indonesia dialek Ambon dengan bahasa Indonesia baku. Perbedaan tersebut adalah letak possessor dan possessum yang berbeda. Pada bahasa Indonesia dialek Ambon, apapun kategori possessor baik pronima persona, nama diri, maupun bukan manusia selalu mendahului possessum. Hal itu berbeda dengan bahasa Indonesia baku, yaitu pada pola konstruksinya possessum-lah yang mendahului possessor. Perbedaan lain adalah pola konstruksi posesif pada bahasa Indonesia dialek Ambon mendapat penambahan kata pung di antara possessor dan possessum, sedangkan pada bahasa Indonesia baku tidak mengalami penambahan.
