  ABSTRAK

  Disfluency Features, seperti keragu-raguan dan pengulangan, adalah suatu hal yang tidak bisa dihindari oleh orang-orang. Hal tersebut dapat terjadi kapan pun dan di manapun. Di dalam percakapan, di dalam suatu dialog, ataupun dalam suatu monolog, keragu-raguan dan pengulangan selalu terjadi. Skripsi ini meneliti disfluency features yang terjadi di English Debate Society Fakultas Bahasa Inggris UNNES (Negeri Universitas Semarang). Dalam debat ini ada enam pembicara. Sistem yang digunakan dalam debat ini adalah seperti monolog. Masing-masing pembicara diberi kesempatan untuk bicara atau beropini mengenai apa yang mereka pikirkan. Adalah menarik untuk meneliti disfluency features yang terjadi ketika mereka berbicara. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan jenis disfluency features apa yang terjadi di English Debate Society Fakultas Bahasa Inggris UNNES (Negeri Universitas Semarang), seberapa sering disfluency feature tersebut terjadi, dan ketika kapan disfluency features tersebut terjadi. Keragu-raguan dan pengulangan ditemukan debat ini. Keragu-raguan terdiri dari sela diam dan sela isi, sedang pengulangan berfungsi sebagai produksi, pemahaman, dan koneksi. Ada enam pembicara yang bergabung dalam debat tersebut. Untuk mengumpulkan data dari para pembicara, penulis menggunakan alat perekam untuk merekam ketika pembicara berpendapat atau beropini. Di dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan metoda kwalitatif. Analisa didasarkan pada teori tentang keragu-raguan dan pengulangan sebagai macam dari disfluency features yang ditulis oleh Richard dan Schmidt ( 1985:388) dan Tannen ( 1989:48). Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pada dasarnya ada tiga jenis disfluency features yang berbeda : sela diam, sela yang diisi, dan pengulangan. Masing-masing pembicara mempunyai cara mereka sendiri untuk menghasilkan macam disfluency features. Kebanyakan disfluency features yang terjadi debat ini adalah pengulangan, terjadi 376 kali atau 59.41%. Sela yang diisi terjadi 241 kali atau 38.07% dan sela diam terjadi untuk 16 kali atau 2.52% dari yang 633 kali total disfluency features yang terjadi.
