takes two as the examples. The first example of adjacency pair with response to request is as follows. 4:38 ROMEO: Sin from my lips? You encourage crime with your sweetness. Give me my sin back. They kiss again JULIET: You kiss like you’ve studied how. P : 1. Romeo, 2. Juliet S : Juliet’s balcony LF : Responding to request APACT-1S5P5R-FA+R The conversation is between Romeo and Juliet. They have their romantic time, kissing each other. In the first part of the adjacency pair, Romeo requests Juliet to return his sin back so that he could kiss Juliet again and again. In the second part of the adjacency pair, Juliet says “You kiss like you’ve studied how” which means they have kissed again and Juliet responds to Romeo’s request by doing what he wants, to kiss Juliet. Thus, it can be said that the adjacency pair contains the response to the request. Another example of adjacency pair that has a response to a request can be seen in the following conversation. 4:38 JULIET: It’s almost morning. I want to make you go, but I’d only let you go as far as a spoiled child lets his pet bird go. He lets the bird hop a little from his hand and then yanks him back by a string. ROMEO: I wish I was your bird. P : 1. Romeo, 2. Juliet S : Juliet’s balcony LF : responding to request APACT-2S2P8R-FA+R The above conversation is between Juliet and Romeo. In the first part of the adjacency pair, Juliet makes a request that Romeo should go and leave Juliet’s balcony because the night is almost down. Juliet says “It’s almost morning. I want to make you go, but I’d only let you go as far as a spoiled child lets his pet bird go. He lets the bird hop a little from his hand and then yanks him back by a string.” It was an indirect request from Juliet to Romeo. In the second part of the adjacency pair, Romeo responds that he wished he was the bird. Therefore, it can be said that the adjacency pair above contains a response to the request.

In Romeo and Juliet movie, there are 14 responses to offer and invitation. However, the researcher only takes two as the examples. The first example is the conversation between Juliet and Nurse. The conversation is as follows. 4:40 NURSE: returning His name is Romeo. He’s a Montague. He’s the only son of your worst enemy. JULIET: to herself The only man I love is the son of the only man I hate I saw him too early without knowing who he was, and I found out who he was too late Love is a monster for making me fall in love with my worst enemy.

The Nurse offers information about Romeo. She says that the person Juliet danced with is Romeo, the son of Montague family, the greatest enemy of Capulet family. In the second part of the adjacency pair, Juliet responds it to the Nurse by blaming herself. She regrets that she falls in love to a person without knowing who he is and it turns out the man is Romeo from Montague family. From the analysis, it can be said that the above adjacency pair contains a response to the offer. Another example of adjacency pair that has a response to an offer is as follows. 4:41 LADY CAPULET: Find out the way, and I’ll find the right man. But now I have joyful news for you, girl. JULIET : And it’s good to have joy in such a joyless time. What’s the news? Please tell me. P : 1. Lady Capulet, 2.
