1、摘 要M. A. K. Halliday的系统功能语法已成为20世纪最具影响力的语言学理论之一,其对各个学科都有深远影响。政治演讲的衔接手段丰富,具有口语和书面语的双重特性。本文运用Halliday的系统功能语法从人际功能方面对英语和汉语政治演讲进行分析,主要从语气、情态和人称代词三方面揭示英语和汉语政治演讲的异同,并尝试从语言和文化角度进行解释,以期对外语教学及翻译实践有可借鉴之处。为保证对比研究的有效性,本文选取了四篇最新中美国家领导人访问期间的演讲奥巴马在复旦大学的演讲,奥巴马在白宫隆重欢迎中国主席的致辞以及胡锦涛在白宫南草坪欢迎仪式上的致辞,胡锦涛在美国友好团体欢迎宴会上的讲话。关键词

When people communicate with each other, they have to be able to introduce themselves, to express their intentio
9、n, and to show their feelings. Similarly, the country leaders make political speeches at home and abroad frequently in order to explain something important to the national people to get their support or in order to introduce the countrys foreign policies to the foreigners for the purpose of acquirin
10、g some successful cooperation for the good of the country. Therefore, in a sense, anyone who wants to succeed in life should not neglect the ability of public speaking.In the past several decades, Hallidays Systemic-Functional Grammar has become very popular. It has been applied into a variety of fi
11、elds, such as discourse analysis, stylistics, sociolibguistics, machine translation and language teaching(Hu Zhuanglin, 2006:306). However, very few researches have been done in the field of comparative analysis of political speech discourse. Systemic-Functional Grammar is of significance for the su
12、rvey of the nature and the use of language. The interpersonal function serves to establish and maintain social relations such as the expression of social role, which include communication between one person and another.This thesis takes four speech texts as the samples to analyze their functional me
13、anings. They are: Obamas speech in Fu Dan University (Dec. 16, 2009), Obamas welcoming address on South Lawn (Jan. 19, 2011), Hu Jintaos welcoming address on South Lawn (Jan. 19, 2011) and Hu Jintaos speech on American friendly groups welcoming banquet (Jan. 20, 2011). The main purpose of this thesi
14、s is to analyze the American political speeches and Chinese political speeches by using interpersonal function, and to find out the similarities and differences of the two kinds of discourse.This thesis consists of three chapters in addition to an introduction and a conclusion. Chapter one is an ove
15、rview of Systemic-Functional Grammar. Chapter two is devoted to the features of political speeches. Chapter three demonstrates the comparative analysis of Chinese and American leaders speeches from the interpersonal function: mood, modality, and personal pronouns.Chapter IAn Overview of Systemic-Fun
16、ctional GrammarSince M.A.K Halliday put forward Systemic-Function (SF) Grammar, which was a sociologically oriented function linguistic approach, SF has been one of the most influential linguistic theories in the 20th century, and it has great effect on various disciplines. Halliday believes that so
17、cial demand on language has helped to shape its structure, and he interprets language development from a functional point of view and formulates a functional theory of language. In this chapter, the three meta-functions and interpersonal function will be examined closely.1.1 Three Meta-functionsAcco
18、rding to Halliday, the adults language can be highly abstracted as three meta-functions: the ideational, the interpersonal, and the textual function. Metafunction system is the key part of Hallidays Systemic-Function (SF) Grammar. “These meta-functions appear at a new level in the linguistic system,
19、 taking the form of “grammar”. The grammatical system has, as it were, a functional input and a structural output; it provides the mechanism for different functions to be combined in one utterance in the way the adult requires” (Hu Zhuanglin 312). It is necessary to show the framework as follows:Inf

It mainly consists of transitivity and voice” (ibid.). This function not only specifies the availab

As mentioned in the above figure, transitivity, divided into six kindsmaterial processes, mental processes, relational processes, verbal processes, behavioural process, and existential processes, is simpl

Interp
24、ersonal function is realized by mood, modality and person pronouns. Mood system is a major grammatical system, which shows what role the speaker selects in the speech situation and what role he appoints to the addressee. For example, if the speaker selects the imperative mood, he assumes the role of
