Furthermore, the researchers used the referential identity method in analyzing data; in presenting the result of the research, the researchers utilized the informal method. The research results show that three types of turn-taking strategies in the data source. They are starting up, taking over, and interrupting. Based on the research, interrupting occurs six times, taking over occurs six times, and starting up occurs three times. Starting up is the lowest type that occurs in this data because the two speakers are good talkers who rarely use fillers. Interrupting is the most common type in this data because the two speakers have high conversational proficiency, demonstrating fluency. The implication of this study is to advance the understanding of turn-taking strategies in a new and unexplored context and highlight the strategic use of language in media discourse.]]>
