reasons of interruption, produced by the interviewer towards the interviewees in
Kupas Tuntas on Trans TV talk show. This research also aims to find which reasons
of interruption occurs the most. The writer used descriptive qualitative approach for
this research. The writer got the data from the dialogs in the interview in Kupas
Tuntas on Trans TV that the writer transcribed herself. Kupas Tuntas is a talk show
which discusses and exposes particular current issues from the experts. In her
analysis, the writer determined and classified each of the reasons of interruption that
occurred in the dialogs based on the criteria of Wardhaugh?s theories. In her findings,
the writer found the interviewer often made turn taking irregularities, in this case,
interruption, because the interviewer did not want to wait for the interviewee to finish
making her/his point. The interviewer often interrupted because of some reasons.
Thus, the writer tried to find the reasons of interruption that occurred in the dialogs.
The reasons of interruption found in the dialogs were seeking clarification,
correcting, trying to complete, ending conversation, selecting next speaker, giving
idea, and asking with the reason of clarification occurs the most. Finally, the writer
concluded that the interviewer did not do the turn taking well where one has to wait
for the speaker to finish his/her talk. However, the interviewer had reasons that
explained why he tended to interrupt the interviewees. The writer hopes that this
research would be useful for further research concerning the kinds of reasons of
interruption in different contexts and situations.
