            Talks  (conversation)  are  a  central  activity  in  social  life1.  That  is  why; studying or investigating conversation is not only interesting, but also meaningful. As  the  phenomenon  of  language  in  use,  conversation  is  studied  by  one  of  the branches  of  linguistics  that  is  discourse  analysis.  Language  is  the  medium  of conversation.
           As the definition of language, it is a set of meaningful sound. People use  it  for  conversation.  In  the  development  of  language  and  conversation, sometimes language is a very complicated thing either in national or international language.  It  can  be  spoken  or  written  language.  Language  used  by  the  human being  expresses  the  idea,  feeling,  whishes,  opinion,  and  very  common  people debate their friends by language, although their reasons are false.
