Table 3 above gives a list of four basic speech functions classes and eight speech function response.
As a result, in a conversation, the exchange process structure and speech functions are very related to each other. It realizes the role relationship of the
speakers to each other. There is also a correlation between the structure of a responding move and the different structure of an initiating move. By looking at
who makes what kinds of moves in initiating speech function and identifying the role which played by the speakers, we can explain the attitudes toward in the
interaction, and it is called interpersonal role relationship.
2.4 Turn and Move in Casual Conversation
2.4.1. Turn in Casual Conversation One of the implications of this is that the discourse patterns of speech function are
carried not by grammatical units, such as the clause, but by a discourse unit, a unit sensitive to interactive function. The most obvious discourse unit is the turn on all the talk
produced by one speaker before another speaker gets in. It is very important units in casual talk or conversation.
Eggins and Slade 1997: 184 say that there is one feature of turn that has to be mentioned before the rules can be presented, namely the possibility of invited to speak
next. The turn can be described by the speakers in conversation by using speech function pairs. For examples:
1 a : i “Who wrote Laskar Pelangi?” question
2 b : i “Andrea Hirata.” answer
If a select b in current turn for his question “who wrote Laskar pelangi?”, so
a must stop speaking, and b must speak next by answering the a ‟s question.
1a D: i “I mean, ii the man love you.” 1b iii “I think, iv you must be happy marry with him.”
We can see that D is a single turn at talk. This change clearly indicates that D is making a number of moves in single turn, and expresses a statement. But, the moves are
still in one meaning of D. However, the turn can still happen even when the hearer responses the speaker means of requests. For example, we can already point out that there
are the other speaker responses to D‟s first move, she is actually is a single turn:
2a S: i “I don‟t think so.” 2b ii “I just regard him as my friend.”
