内容摘要

在我们日常生活中,语言不仅可以用来描述周围世界,还能起到维持关系的作用。在韩礼德系统功能语法中,我们将其称为人际功能。作为美国首位黑人总统,巴拉克·奥巴马的演讲辞必将受到世界各地学者的关注。他的演讲辞不仅要树立并提升自己的威信,更预期在自己和听众之间建立一种理想的关系,此外,他还试图向听众施加权力,以此来实现演讲的多重目的。鉴于奥巴马演讲辞的复杂性,本文预期研究并达到以下目的:(1)奥巴马在演讲辞中选择何种语言词汇以实现其人际功能;(2)探究不同人际资源的实现方式。本文所采用四篇语料均选自以奥巴马大选为主题的政治演讲辞。本文通过对语气、情态、人称、评价以及互联网这一特殊载体进行分析,发现人际功能在奥巴马演讲辞中的体现与词汇选择有密切的关系。研究发现:(1)互联网在奥巴马演讲获胜中起到重要作用;(2)陈述语气在演讲辞中占有重要地位,演讲者通过大量陈述句向听众传递信息、表达态度和主张;(3)奥巴马在演讲辞中频繁使用高值情态词与中值情态词,以此树立自己不容置疑的权威并维护其自身形象,同时不会显得过于傲慢或激进;(4)不同的人称代词在奥巴马的演讲辞中被用来表达演讲者与听众的多重关系;(5)对于评价系统的词汇选择,奥巴马以各种不同的评价词汇表达不同的感情色彩和判断。本文所得结论在一定程度能够帮助演讲者在发表演讲辞时更恰当地选择词汇,以此实现演讲的多重目的。此外,本文再次证明韩礼德系统功能语法在语篇分析中的可行性及科学性。
