	Two findings can be drawn in this research. Firstly, the four types of interruptions are found in this research. They are simple interruptions, overlap interruptions, butting-in interruptions, and silent interruptions. Overlap interruptions appear frequently and this means the interrupter is highly involved and very enthusiastic to follow the conversation. This interruption also means that the interrupter is trying to elaborate the conversation. However, silent interruption only appears once out of 39 data. This interruption occurs to show the interrupter’s understanding about the topic. Secondly, all of the functions of interruption are found in this research. They are disruptive interruptions, cooperative interruptions, and neutral interruptions. Disruptive interruptions occur to show disagreement, to take the floor, and to change the topic of discussion. To take the floor is not found in the data since there is no jury who tries to take others floor. However, cooperative purposes appear to support the current speaker. In cooperative interruptions, the speaker mostly wants to show clarification. Meanwhile, neutral interruptions employed by the interrupter is used neither to disrupt nor to collaborate with the current speaker. It occurs to show neutrality.
