Abstract
In this research interruptions by male characters in Desperate Housewives Season 1 TV series are analyzed using sociopragmatic approach. This research has three objectives: to identify the linguistic features employed in the interruptions, to find out the types of interruption, and to describe the purposes of the interruptions. This research employed descriptive qualitative method and was supported by quantitative method in presenting the occurrence of the data in frequency. The descriptive qualitative method was applied since the discussion was presented descriptively with the researcher as the main instrument and the data sheet as the secondary instrument. The data of this research were in the form of utterances, while the contexts of the data were the dialogues containing interruption uttered by the male characters in the TV series. The source of the data was the first-ten episodes in Desperate Housewives Season 1 TV series and their transcript. The results of the research are presented as follows. First, there are three types of interruption found in the TV series: simple, overlap, and butting-in interruption. Simple interruption appears the most because most of the current speakers are not able to complete their utterances after being interrupted by the male characters. The lowest number is butting-in interruption because most of the current speakers can hold the floor. Second, three linguistic features are found in the research: report talk, command, teasing, and swearing. Report talk is the highest rank because the male characters mostly use conversation as an arena to display themselves as the center of conversation through verbal performance. Third, all the interruption phenomena found in the TV series have either cooperative or disruptive purposes. In disruptive interruption, all the three purposes of interruption are found, i.e. disagreement, floor taking, and topic change. Meanwhile, there are only three purposes of cooperative interruption found in this research: to show understanding, to show the need for clarification and to show interest in the topic. The main purpose of interruption in this research is to show disagreement. It means that interruptions are mostly used by the male characters disruptively as a tool to argue their partners and to show their different opinions.
