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.
1. Types of Adjacency Pairs in the Modern Script of Romeo and Juliet Movie
Adjacency pairs are two adjacent utterances which are produced by different speakers who are related to each other in such a way. The utterances are
related to form pair types so that a particular first pair part sets up the expectation of a particular second pair part. For example, a question expects a reply and an
offer expects an acceptance or decline. In this study, there are nine types of adjacency pair found in Romeo and
Juliet movie,
namely greeting-greeting,
question-answer, request-
refusalacceptance, command-complianceincompliance,
blameaccusation- admissiondenial,
offer–acceptancerefusal, assertion-agreementdisagreement,
summons -answer, and farewell -farewell. The writer presents the complete data in the appendix, while in this part, she discusses each type of adjacency pairs
found in Romeo and Juliet movie script in details.
a. Greeting – Greeting
The first type of adjacency pair is greeting-greeting. It is when the first part of the conversation is a greeting and the response is a greeting, too. In Romeo
and Juliet movie, there are three occurrences of greeting-greeting adjacency pairs and three of them are explained below as the example.
The first evidence about the occurrence of greeting-greeting adjacency pairs can be seen in the conversation between Romeo and Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence is the
priest who later declares Romeo and Juliet husband and wife. The conversation is as follows.
4:01
ROMEO: Good morning, father. FRIAR LAWRENCE: God bless you. Who greets me so early in the morning?
Young man, something’s wrong if you’re getting out of bed this early. Every old man has worries, and worried
men never get any sleep, but young men shouldn’t have a care in the world.
P : 1. Romeo, 2. Friar Lawrence
S : The church
LF : Greeting APACT-2S3P2G-G+O-I
The above script is a conversation between Romeo and Friar Lawrence when the day has just begun. Very early Romeo goes to church and finds Friar
Lawrence seek for some advice related to his relation with Juliet. Before Romeo tells his purposes, he greets Friar Lawrence by saying “Good morning, father”.
“Good Morning” is a common greeting used to greet someone when they meet in the morning. The greeting “good morning” is very similar to “good afternoon”
and “good evening”, or “Hello”. Realizing that Romeo comes and greets him, Friar Lawrence replies it with a blessing to greet Romeo in return. After giving a
blessing to Romeo, the father gives more utterances because he is shocked that in the very early morning, Romeo has come to church to find him. Romeo greets the
priest to get his attention toward the matter that Romeo brings.
