and preference structure. At this step, a comic strip conversation is analyzed using a conversation analysis to see the turn-taking, adjacency pairs, and sequences; and
deeper using the preference structure to see the preferred and dispreferred response to some pairs. In the analysis, the writer uses
“A”, “B”, or “C” to refer to the speaker. “A” as the first speaker, “B” as the second speaker, or “C” as the
third speaker. After analyzing the conversations based on conversation analysis and the
preference structure, the writer then proceed to the next step that is to analyze the patterns of dispreferred response that Brutus uses as the response to the first part
in the comic strip. Here the writer also applied theory of dispreferred by Yule in which he presents the pattern of dispreferred response. After finding these results,
the writer then reached the final step of completing the conclusions of the research that has been implemented.
