CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter is divided into two sections: findings and discussion. In the first section, the researcher provides the tables of research findings. There are also
brief explanations about the findings before the discussion. In the second section, the researcher provides a deeper explanation of research findings, which contains
types of adjacency pairs, with dispreferred second turn and the politeness principles on dispreferred second turn used by the main characters in the movie
The Duchess. She also gives examples for the analysis to make the explanations clear.
A. Findings
In this section, the researcher figures out the findings based on three problem formulations in the first chapter. The first finding is related to the types
of adjacency pairs uttered by the main characters. Adjacency pairs can occur when at least two pairs of utterances appear. From the analysis of adjacency pairs’
occurrence, the researcher found sixteen types of adjacency pairs uttered by the main characters. After having peer discussion, the researcher finally got the fixed
data as shown in the table below.

Table 11 shows that the first adjacency pair is question-answer. The main characters shows eagerness to know something by asking questions to the others.
Since the movie is full of conflicts faced by the main characters, saying goodbye is considered inappropriate during the turn exchanges.
The second finding is second turns. Based on the theory, there are two kinds of second turns, preferred and dispreferred one. There are ten preferred
second turns and seven dispreferred second turns found in the data. Table 12 below shows the findings of the data occurred in the dialogues by the main
characters in the movie The Duchess
