Abstract

The use of language in a speech community, can be influenced by the rules that exist for a speech community. A person may have more than one speech community, which often reflected through their conversation style. The purpose of this research is to understand the conversation characteristics of three multilingual people with the same educational background and have learned more than one foreign language. These characteristics being analysed in this study were among others turn-taking, giving turns, overlapping, silent, repetition of words, code mixing, code switching, repair, conversation cooperation, and persistence. This study includes three participants from three different regions in Indonesia, namely Bandung, Riau and Pontianak. The data collected were conversations carried out using online media, namely Zoom Meeting, which were recorded and encrypted for further analysis by using conversational analysis theory by Gardner (2004). The findings show that there are similarities between the three participants in terms of providing a minimum response, overlap, silent, repetition of words, and code mixing. The difference is shown in giving a turn, repair, and how to bring the topics. This research has not been able to provide the characteristics of conversations in multilingual communities (especially Indonesia) but is expected to provide a reference for similar research.
