4.1.1 The Structure of Adjacency Pairs In TBL
There are various structures of adjacency pairs in TBL such as; question- answer, greeting-greeting, summon-answer, offer-acceptancerefusal, invitation-
acceptancerejection, accusation-denials, compliment-acceptancerejection, and complaint-rejection, . These adjacency pairs are analysed in TBL phenomena based on
CA method, and consequently developed into its further expanded forms in pre- sequences, inserted sequences, post-sequences, and preferences including what action
shows what behaviour, for example, how a party responses an invitation- accepting in certain behaviour or rejecting in another behaviour in the ralization of them in First Pair
Part and Second Pair Part.
4.1.1.1 Question-answer
In TBL a question-answer pair is mainly used to open a conversation in which the answer realized in the second pair part is expected to be informative. It is likely that
if the answer to the question is not informative the first pair part is considered greeting, and the second pair part is a respond to the greeting. Exerpt 1 and exerpt 2 below
exemplify these cases.
Exerpt 1 1 A : sian dia nakkingan i? ‘
siad dia nangkingan i? from where past it?
‘where is it from?’ ‘
Universitas Sumatera Utara
2 B : sian i, sian pollak i. ‘ from there, from farm the
‘from there, from the farm’ Exerpt 2
1 A : nga piga? past how many?
‘how many?’ 2 0.2
3 A : nga piga dapot? past how many got?
‘how many have you got?’ 4 B : imbulu na dope dapot lae,
ibbulu na dope dapot lae fur poss yet got sir
‘I have only got its fur sir.
5 imbulu na. ibbuluna
fur poss ‘its fur’
In exerpt 1, the second pair part, line 2, is uttered as giving information as an answer to the question in the first pair part, line 1. It is also characterized by the latched
utterance with no gap between the two utterances. Adjacency pair in question-answer is commonly practised and realized as informative when there is no gap between the first
pair part and the second pair part. A asks B where is the papaya from, and B responses that it is from the farm as seen in picture 1 below.

This case too is discernible in the following excerpt. Exerpt 3
1 A : jai adong do dalan tu ginjang on? jai adong do dalat tu gijjang on ?
so any T way to up this? ‘so, is there any way up there?’
2 B : adong dingkan ai
adong dikkan ai any over there
‘yes over there’
3 boi dope motor mardalan tu ginjang
boi dope motor mardalan tu gijjang can yet cars walk to up
‘ cars can go up there’

The informative question uttered by A in excerpt 3 is immediately answered by B where she further continued to give information to A that other than the possibility to
walk up, cars also can go up there. The illustration is given in picture 2 below.

So one category of adjacency pair that can be considered phenomena in TBL is informative question-answer.
Another category of question-answer AP is one that does not follow the rule like the one in formative question-answer. It is categorized as quasi-question- answer
which leads to greeting as discernible in excerpt 2. In excerpt 2, A’s question was not

immediately answered by B. There are two seconds pause before A initiates a repair to which it is responded by B with just a joking answer, in other words, the information
that A asked how many fish B has got in his fishing was not given. This next-turn proof procedure determines that the first pair part of A’s turn is not always
informative, as shown in picture 3.

In this case, for the TBL context, such adjacency pair of question-answer is considered as greeting-greeting which can be further discussed in the following.
