Critical Discourse Analysis of the Combination
of Interpersonal Function and Discourse Power

Abstract: This paper uses George W. Bush’s Second Inaugural Speech as the research text and Halliday’s theory of interpersonal function to explore how George W. Bush, president of the United States, builds a bridge between the public audience and himself to enhance the discourse power of his speech. Besides, this paper focuses on the language features of the inaugural speech and tries to figure out how the president skillfully uses those features to serve his purpose.
It is of great significance for the public audience to understand the language skills frequently adopted by political figures in a public speech and get to know how the political figures establish an interpersonal relationship with the public, which serves to strengthen the discourse power of their speeches. I believe that a critical discourse analysis of the combination of interpersonal function and discourse power will facilitate a profound understanding of George W. Bush’s Second Inaugural Speech. Most importantly, it may raise people’s awareness of critical thinking and encourage people to rethink any political texts to conclude their own understandings.

Key Words: interpersonal function discourse power

摘要:本文選取美國總統(tǒng)喬治.W.布什第二次就職演說作為研究文本，運用韓禮德元功能中的人際功能研究喬治.W.布什在演講中如何建立公眾關(guān)系從而達(dá)到加強(qiáng)整篇演講語言力度的目的。另外，本文還著重描寫該篇演說的語言特征并試圖找出喬治.W.布什是如何巧妙運用這些語言特色為其目的服務(wù)。
讓大眾了解政治人物在公眾演講中頻繁使用的語言技巧和搭建公眾關(guān)系從而加強(qiáng)話語權(quán)力的方式，具有深遠(yuǎn)的意義。作者相信通過批評性語篇分析，讀者對喬治.W.布什第二次就職演說會有一個更全面深入的認(rèn)識。更為重要的是，這有助于提高人們的批評性思維，促進(jìn)人們對文本重新思考繼而得出自己的理解和結(jié)論。
