Abstract
This research employs sociopragmatic approach to investigate the interruptions performed by the male characters in New Girl: Season 2 TV series. This research has three objectives, which are to identify the linguistic features employed in the interruption performed by the male characters in New Girl: Season 2 TV series, to discover the types of interruption which appear in the male characters’ utterances in New Girl: Season 2 TV series, and to describe the purposes of the interruption performed by the male characters in New Girl: Season 2 TV series. This research was conducted by employing descriptive qualitative method. However, this research also employed quantitative method to help the researcher interpret the data and to strengthen the description of the findings. Two instruments were used in this research: the researcher as the key instrument and the data sheets as the secondary instrument. The data of the research were in the form of dialogues and were taken from the scripts of the TV series. The sources of the data were 10 episodes (episode 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 19, 20, 21, 22) in New Girl: Season 2 TV series. To collect the data, the researcher employed visual analysis by watching the movie and reading the transcript. The results of the research are presented as follows. Firstly, there are four linguistic features employed in the interruptions performed by the male characters in New Girl: Season 2 TV series. They are report talk, command, teasing, and swearing. Command appears more frequently because it can be a means for them to instruct other characters to do a certain action they wish. Meanwhile, swearing appears the least because the male characters avoid using it in order to respect each other and not to ruin their friendship. Secondly, there are only three types of interruptions which appear in the male characters’ utterances in New Girl: Season 2 TV series, i.e. simple interruption, overlap interruption, and silent interruption. From 34 total data, overlap interruption becomes the highest rank. It is because through overlap interruption, the interrupter and the current speaker manage to finish their utterances and accomplish a certain purpose. Additionally, simple interruption becomes the lowest rank because the current speaker’s utterance is incomplete, and causes the male characters to fail to accomplish a certain purpose. Thirdly, both disruptive and cooperative interruption appears to accomplish a certain purpose. Three purposes of disruptive interruption are employed, i.e. disagreement, floor taking, and topic change. Meanwhile, only two purposes in cooperative interruption appear, i.e. to show understanding and to show the need for clarification. From the collected data, disagreement appears more frequently because the interrupter has a different opinion with the current speaker and feels the urge to deliver his opinion. Further, showing the need for clarification appears the least because the male characters have lived together for a long time so they already understand each other, even when they have conversations.
