Second, the types of preference structure used by Anies Baswedan as the second speaker was preferred responses or positives responses (expected answer, agreement for assessment, and agreement for proposal). Third, the dominant types of preference structure occurred in the podcast was preferred responses because Anies Baswedan didn’t use longer pauses and delay, used faster turn-taking, gives more stories, active speaker, and produces expected answer. In a talk show, a host must be dominant in expressing ideas, opinions, or questions to the guest star. So, the speaker can freely express their thoughts and answer any questions asked by the host properly. The conversational style of an active, precise, and interesting host will also produce good responses from the guest star.
