conversations between the two hosts and also the guests in the Ceriwis talk show.
The writer tried to find the type of turn taking irregularities that were produced the
most frequently in the conversation by the two hosts and also by the two hosts and
the guests in the Ceriwis talk show. Besides, the writer tried to find the reasons of
each type of turn-taking irregularities. The writer used the theory of Zimmerman
and West (1975), Wardaugh (1985), and Tannen (1991). This research used
descriptive qualitative approach. In her analysis, the writer divided it into two
main parts; that is the analysis of interruption and the analysis of overlap. In the
analysis of interruption, the writer found that the number of interruptions in the
conversations were higher than the number of overlaps; both in the conversation
produced by the two hosts also by the two hosts and the guests. The number of
interruptions produced by the two hosts were higher than by the two hosts and the
guests. The writer also found the reasons of interruption, that is asking for help,
breaking up, completing, correcting, disagreeing, seeking clarification and
showing agreement. In the analysis of overlap, the writer found that the frequency
of overlaps produced by the two hosts was higher than the overlaps produced by
the hosts and the guests. The writer also found the reasons of overlap. Those
reasons were the same as the reasons of interruption. The reason of interruptions
that were produced the most frequently in the conversation was completing and
the reason of overlaps produced the most frequently produced was showing
agreement. The writer concluded that the interruptions and overlaps are most
frequently produced by the two hosts, this condition happens because the two
hosts have to maintain the time in that show. Besides that, the two hosts have a
closer relationship with each other than with the guests.
