Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
A daily conversation seems like the application of language use. It is less interesting to dig rather than speech, movie, etc. The study aims to examine the metapragmatic function and metalinguistic items used in the daily conversation which will be supported by the intimacy between the speakers and the addressee. The study was a qualitative method by using an interview like in the daily activity without any drift. The data were the utterance of daily conversation between the researcher and the participants. The themes of every conversation are different based on the participants' situation at that time. The data were analyzed descriptively. The goal of this study is to find the metapragmatic function used by the English students to get a reference for all about the use of the metapragmatic function. The first step conducted is transcription. We know that transcription is a crucial step in of data analysis (Kowal & Oconnell, 2014). Then, the writer tried to break down the interview transcriptions by doing coding. The study showed that the students used almost metapragmatic function and metalinguistic items in their conversation unconsciously.
