aware of conventions of transactional exchanges and introduced to the particular language which they might expect to hear and use.
2.6.2. Interpersonal Conversation
Interpersonal conversation
established or maintained social relationships, such as personal interviews or casual conversation role plays Eggins and Slade
1997 . Interpersonal conversations are usually used to express : Celce-Murcia et al.1995
a. Greeting and leavetaking b. Making introductions, identifying oneself
c. Extending, accepting and declining invitations and offers d. Making and breaking engagement
e. Expressing and acknowledging gratitude f. Complimenting and congratulating

disbelief, disappointment. This conversation can be done to fulfill the social interaction to the society
like in socialization. The topic is free and people just produce the talk to involve in the community.

2.8. The Frame of Ideas
Based on the theories explained above I conducted the analysis according the frame of ideas below :
2. For speech function analysis, I used the approaches from Celce-Murcia et al’s actional competence and Eggin and Slade’s speech function classes.
These approaches were combined with the speech function introduced in the standard of content.
3. For linguistic features analysis, I used the approach from Eggin and Slade’s grammatical patterns in the system clause of mood. Mood refers to
the patterns of clause types, such as interrogative, imperative and declarative. Each mood type involves different configuration of a set of
basic clause constituents. Full English clauses, that is clauses which have not had any elements left out or ellipsed, generally consist of two pivotal
constituents : a Subject and a Finite. In addition to these pivotal constituents, we also generally find a Predicator, and some combination of
Complements or Adjuncts. 4. For social contextual factors, I used the approach from Celce-Murcia et
al’s variables. They are concerned with the participants in the interaction and the communicative situation. The participants’ age, gender, office
profession, rank and public position, status social standing , social distance from and relations to each other both in terms of power and
affect are known to determine how they talk and are talked to. Situational variables involve the temporal and physical aspects of the interaction
48
time and duration, location as well as the social dimension of the situation. I did not use the age and status in participants variable and time
in situational variables because their variables are not found and known in the conversation texts.
5. For politeness analysis, I used the approach from Brown and Levinson’strategies. There are four types of politeness strategies,
described by Brown and Levinson, that sum up human politeness behavior: Bald On Record, Negative Politeness, Positive Politeness, and
Off-Record-indirect strategy.
