Nani I. Tiono, Jennyfer Ansori

Abstract

Abstract: This research dealt with the kinds of turn-taking irregu-larities in the conversation among the four main African American characters in the movie “Why Do Fools Fall in Love”, the reasons of those kinds of turn-taking irregularities, and which reason occurred the most frequently. This research was descriptive qualitative. The findings showed that the four African American characters in the movie tended to overlap others because they wanted to clarify, reject, or complete others ’ utterance, and show annoyance.
