adjacency pair is in the sixth place with 8 occurrences or 8. Offer-acceptrefusal is in the seventh position with 6 occurrences or 6 and summon-answer is in the
eighth position with 4 occurrences or 4. The adjacency pair with the smallest occurrences is greeting-greeting with only 3 occurrences or 3 of the total
occurrences. Secondly, from 100 occurences in the movie, it can be concluded that there are 72 occurrences of preferred social acts and 28 occurrences of
dispreferred social acts. Thirdly, there are four types of response found in the movie, namely
responding to statement, to question, to request, and to an offer and an 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 with 36 times of occurences followed
by responding to a request which occurs 28 times. In addition, question appears 21 times, while offer and invitation occur 15 times.
From the explanation above, it can be concluded that from 100 adjacency pairs in Romeo and Juliet movie script, there are nine types of adjacency pairs and
72 occurrences of preferred social acts and 28 occurrences of dispreferred social acts. The responses of 100 adjacency pairs are divided into four types: responding
to request, offer and invitation, statement, and question.
