agreementdisagreement A-AD, 8 summons-answer S-A, and 9 farewell- farewell F-F. Table 5 also shows the percentage of each type of adjacency pairs.
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.

100 Table 4 shows that among 100 sample pairs from the movie, Preferred
social act ranks first with 72 compared to dispreferred social act with 28.
3. Frequency of the Function of Response
The frequency of the function of Response is displayed in Table 7 as follows.

100 Table 5 shows six types of responses, namely 1 responding to statement,
2 responding to question, 3 responding to request, 4 responding to offer and invitation, 5 responding to apology, and 6 responding to thank. Table 7 shows
that the response to statement dominates the frequency of occurrence by appearing 36 times or 36 followed by responding to a request that appears 28 times or
28. The smallest occurrence is the response to apology and thank that has 0 occurrence. The last two functions of response have no occurrence because they
do not exist in the storyscript. The cause is probably related to the social context of the story in which the story is dominated with hatred and desire to take revenge
between two families, the Montaque and the Capulet. Because of the hatred and desire to take revenge between those families, apologies and thanks are hard to
find.
B. Discussion
In this part, the researcher discusses the adjacency pairs, the preference sequences, and the functions of response in details.
