Moreover, the writer also employed conformability to demonstrate the neutrality of the research interpretations. The conformability was checked by
measuring how far the findings, while the interpretation of the data was truly based on the data. The writer firstly confirmed the research data to Dr. Margana,
M.Hum., M.A as the first consultant, and then to Paulus Kurnianta, M.Hum as the second consultant. The researcher also invited the other competent partners from
linguistics class as the triangulation partners. They were Kistin Hidayati and
Aghnia Nurrahmah. In this research, dependability was also tested through triangulation
technique. Triangulation is the combination of methods in studying and observing several same phenomena. Triangulation utilizes something outside the data to
verify the data themselves or to compare them. Some basic elements of triangulation technique are sources, methods, observer or researcher, and theories.
In this research, the validity of the research was done by repeating the observation of the data.

CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter consists of two parts, research findings and discussions. The research findings part discusses the data obtained from Romeo and Juliet movie
script and covers the frequencies of the occurrence of adjacency pairs in the conversations in Romeo and Juliet movie script, the frequency of the occurrence
of the preference, and the frequency of the occurrence of the function of the response. The discussions part explains the findings in more details.
A. Research Findings 1. Frequency of Adjacency Pairs in the Movie
The frequency of adjacency pairs in Romeo and Juliet movie script is presented in Table 3 below.

The most often occurring type is question-answer with 22 or 22 times, followed by assertion-agreementdisagreement with 20 or 20 occurrences. Request-
refusalacceptance adjacency pair is in the third rank with 17 or 17 occurrences and command-complianceincompliance in the fourth rank with 11 or 11
occurrences. Blameaccusation-admissiondenial adjacency pair is in the fifth position with 9 or 9 time occurrences, while farewell-farewell adjacency pair is
in the sixth position 8 occurences or 8. In addition, offer-acceptancerefusal is in the seventh position with 6 or 6 occurrences and summons-answer is in the
eighth position with 4 or 4 occurrences. The type of adjacency pair with the smallest occurrences is greeting-greeting with only 3 or 3 occurrences. Based on
the data above it can be concluded that in Romeo and Juliet movie, the highest occurrences of adjacency pairs is Question -Answer and the least one is Greeting
– Greting.
2. Frequency of the Preference
To show the frequency of the preference, the findings are given in Table 6 below.

social act ranks first with 72 compared to dispreferred social act with 28.
