Abstract:
This article empirically elucidates structure of exchanges, especially the regular exchanges manifested in the dialogic dakwah or Islamic preaching discourse in Surakarta city. The data of this article is in the form of spoken words expressed by dai ‘Islamic preacher’ and mad'u ‘the recipients’ as reflected in the question and answer (Q&A) session. The data obtained through implementing techniques of Simak Bebas Libat Cakap (Uninvolved-Conversation Observation), recording, and note taking. The data were classified, and analyzed using the theory of structural exchange by Sinclair and Coulthard (1975) and was further developed by Stubbs (1983). The result shows that in this genre of discourse, there were found two structures of exchange, namely regular exchange and irregular exchange. Findings on the regular exchanges comprise of six structures, namely the I R structure, I R Ir R structure, I R F R structure, I F Ir R structure, and the structures of I R Ir R F R, and I R Ir R Ir R Ir R.
