Abstract

This study focuses on the adjacency pairs in the Romeo and Juliet movie, with concentration on the types of adjacency pairs, the preference sequences, and the functions of responses. The aims of the study are: (1) to describe the types of adjacency pairs in the movie entitled Romeo and Juliet, (2) to describe the preference sequences in the movie entitled Romeo and Juliet, and (3) to describe the functions of responses in the film entitled Romeo and Juliet. The study applied a qualitative research method and the data were taken from the script of Romeo and Juliet. The script used in this study was the modern English script with the consideration that the modern script is much easier to understand and analyze. This research was also supported by quantitative analysis in which the researcher used numbers and percentages to measure the occurrences. Corpuses of the data were in the forms of adjacency pairs found in the conversations in the movie. The findings of the research show that: first, there are nine types of adjacency pairs in the movie. From those nine types of adjacency pairs, the most frequent occurrence is question-answer with 22 occurrences, followed by assertion- agreement/disagreement with 20 occurrences. The request-refusal/accept adjacency pair is in the third with 17 occurrences and command-compliance/incompliance is in the fourth with 11 occurrences. The blame/accusation-admission/denial adjacency pair is in the fifth with 9 occurrences and farewell-farewell adjacency pair is in the sixth with 8 occurrences. Offer-accept/refusal is in the seventh position with 6 occurrences and summon-answer is in the eighth position with 4 occurrences. The adjacency pair with the smallest occurrences is greeting-greeting with only 3 occurrences. Second, among the 100 samples from the movie, there are 72 occurrences of preferred social acts and 28 occurrences of dispreferred social acts. Third, there are four types of responses that occur in the movie; the four types are namely responding to statement, responding to question, responding to request, responding to offer and invitation. The other two types of response, namely responding to apology and responding to thank, do not occur in the movie. The study shows that the response to statement dominates the frequency of the occurrences by 36 times, followed by responding to request which occurs 28 times, question by 21 times, and offer and invitation by 15 times.
