Abstract

The study is under a conversation analysis umbrella. The aim of this study is to analyze linguistic phenomena of news interviews in Andrew Marr Show: Interview with David Cameron. This study has two objectives: to identify how questions are expressed by the interviewer and to investigate types of answer strategies employed by the interviewee. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach since it emphasized on the description of the phenomena of question and answer in Andrew Marr Show: Interview with David Cameron. However, frequency was also used to support the analysis of the data. In collecting the data, the study combined analytical search and note-taking. In addition, content analysis and textual analysis were employed to analyze the data. Finally, the data findings were triangulated by two linguistics students. The study confirms two findings. Firstly, Andrew Marr employs four question realizations. They are initiative (indicated by statement prefaces, multiple and follow-up questions), assertiveness (marked by self-referencing and other-referencing question frames), directness (indicated by preface tilt and negative questions), and adversarialness marked by global adversarialness. The most frequent question expressed by Andrew Marr is statement prefaces. They are effective since they only ask a single question. However, accountability question as the marker of adversarialness does not occur since it is categorized as unanswerable because of the format of the question. Secondly, in responding to the questions, David Cameron employs three answer strategies. They are roundabout trajectory, minimal answer plus elaboration, and lexical repetition. Minimal answer plus elaboration is the most frequent strategy employed by the interviewee since it is effective in outlining his arguments. In conclusion, global adversarialness, follow-up questions, and multiple questions are mostly responded by minimal answer plus elaboration. In other cases, statement prefaces are frequently answered by roundabout trajectory and minimal answer plus elaboration.
