Nghiên Cứu Về Câu Đáp Ưu Tiên Và Không Ưu Tiên Trong Tập 1 Phim Downton AbbeyThis study is carried out in an attempt to investigate the general patterns of preferred and dispreferred second turns as well as the common linguistic features indicating them in the first episode of the film Downton Abbey based on the theoretical frameworks of conversation analysis and preference structure. The database comprises 108 conversations, in which 13 contain preferred second responses and 95 consist of dispreferreds. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been employed to seek answers to the research question. The findings reported in the study can be summarized as follows. Firstly, the mere four patterns of preferred seconds, namely assessment – agreement, invitation – acceptance, proposal – agreement and request – acceptance, can be found in the movie and the assessment – agreement pattern is the most common one. Also, there are four linguistic elements signaling the preferreds, among which „saying „Yes‟ as answer‟ ranks the most.
