                                                                                Based on Sacks and Sechegloff 1979, a key idea in conversation analysis  is  the  notion  of  recipient  design,  that  characterized  as  the  most
general  principle  of  conversational  interaction.  Recipient  design  refers  to the  idea  that  participants  in  talk  design  their  talk  in  such  a  way  as  to  be
understood by an interlocutor, in terms of the knowledge that participants assume  they  share. In  line  with  Sacks  and  Schegloff’s  idea,  Arnoff  and
Miller  2003:437  assert  that  the  main  idea  behind  the  analysis  of conversation  is  based  on  three  mechanisms  of  collaboration  from  the
participants.  Those  mechanisms  are  turn-taking,  repair  organization,  and adjacency pairs.
Thus, conversation analysis can be used as a mean of studying the interaction  among  members  of  spesific  speech  community  by  those  three
mechanisms. Furthermore,  this  research  deals  with  the  analysis  of adjacency  pairs in  term  of  dispreferred social  act structure that  will  be
explained further in the below section.
4. Adjacency Pairs In conversation, it can be noticed that many turns at talk occur as
pairs. A greeting is conventionally followed by another greeting, a farewell by a farewell, a question by an answer. Schegloff and Sacks in Liddicoat,
2007:106  called  this  sorts  of  paired  utterances  as  adjacency  pairs  and these adjacency pairs are the basic unit in which sequences in conversation
are  built. Malmkjaer  2006  states  that  adjacency  pairs  or  utterance  pairs
have  two  pair  parts  in a  sequence  or  utterances in  a  conversation; a  first and  second pair  part,  with  the  second  being  conditionally relevant  on  the
first. In  addition,  Yule  1996:77  explains  further  that  adjacency pairs
are one  of  the  most  significant  contributions  in  conversation  analysis.  It always  consist  of  a  first  part  and  second  part,  produced  by  different
speakers. The utterance  of a  first part immediately  creates an expectation of  the  utterance  of  a  second  part  of  the  same  pair. The  examples  of
adjacency pairs can be seen in the following section: A : Is that a new hair style?
B : Yeah. It was time for a new look. Yule, 1996:77
From  the  example above,  it  can  be  seen  that  the  first  speaker  A asks a question to the second sepaker B. The first speaker A anticipates
an  expected  response  from  the  second  speaker  B. Indeed,  the  second speaker gives an expected respond to the first speaker.
The above example is typically found in the opening sequences of a conversation. There are also the example of adjacency pairs of question -
answer  sequence,  thanking – acceptance response,  and  request – acceptance response.

A : What time is it? B : About eight-thirty.
A : Thank you. B : You’re welcome.
