| Summary: | . The Thai news interview programme serves as a platform where two
parties of interviewees with differing opinions on a specific topic are invited
for an interview It is common for conversations in these programmes to be
interrupted by the interlocutor The objective of this article is to examine
the functions of conversational interruptions in Thai news interview
programmes The data for the study were collected from 25 episodes of
Thai news interviews, and the verbal content from these programmes was
transcribed into written language To analyse the conversational data, the
researcher employed the conversational analysis framework on the turntaking and the framework of conversational interruptions. The findings of
the study revealed that listeners produced a total of 2,677 conversational
interruptions These interruptions were categorized into three main
functions: intrusive interruption, cooperative interruption, and neutral
interruption It was observed that interviewers attempted to interrupt in
order to successfully manage the interview, while interviewees interrupted
to provide additional information and assert their right to speak They
also interrupted each other to gain the opportunity to speak and express
disagreement Therefore, it can be concluded that all parties involved in the
conversations used interruption as a means to demonstrate their roles and
defend their right to speak. |
