Confirmation Seekers Intimacy Signals
I know so, she said. So, whats on your agenda
today? While Im whining and unpacking and cleaning
until my hands are raw. Menurutmu begitu?
Jelas, kata Jo. Jadi apa rencanamu hari ini?
Sementara aku menggerutu, mengeluarkan
barang-barang, dan bersih- bersih rumah sampai
tanganku perih.
As shown in the table above, the DM so in the SL is translated into jadi in TL. The average score for this datum is 1.3 equivalent. Two out of three
respondents give score 1 equivalent to this datum. However, one respondent R1 give score 2 not equivalent to this datum. According to R1, jadi in SL is
not necessary and it should be omitted. However, this datum is equivalent because jadi in TL has the same
function with so in SL, which is to change the topic from the current topic talking about Jo agrees with Katie‟s previous discourse into another topic Jo asks Katie
about Katie‟s agenda at that day. In contradiction with R1, the researcher gives score 1 to this datum because if jadi was omitted in TL, the conversation would
not run as smooth as it is. The function of jadi in the table above is different from jadi in the
previous datum as discourse connector. Eventhough so is translated into jadi in both data, but their functions are different. Jadi in the previous datum is used as a
discourse connector, while jadi in the datum above is used as a topic-switcher.
