【摘要】：本文运用语篇—历史分析方法以及人际功能理论对美国总统奥马巴关于移民问题的讲话进行了批评性分析。在分析讲话中语篇策略运用的基础上,本文研究了奥巴马通过语篇策略构建了怎样的人际关系,并探讨了奥巴马运用这些语篇策略想要达到的政治目的,旨在加强人们对政治演讲的理解。作为一种跨学科性的、以问题为导向的研究方法,语篇-历史分析方法注重语篇与社会结构之间复杂的相互作用关系。该方法强调从五个方面来分析语篇策略:所指策略或提名策略、谓语指示策略、辩论策略、视角化/框架化策略以及强化或弱化策略。本文以这五种语篇策略为主,以人际功能理论为辅,对语料进行综合、全面的分析。本文旨在回答以下三个研究问题:(1)奥巴马关于移民问题讲话中的语篇策略是如何运用的?(2)这些语篇策略的运用构建了怎样的人际关系?(3)这些语篇策略的运用反映出哪些潜在的政治目的?本文搜集了奥巴马总统竞选阶段和二个总统任期的七年内关于移民问题的讲话,并从中选取6篇演讲中的20段节选作为语料,结合不同时期的社会、政治和历史因素,以历时的方法研究奥巴马讲话中语篇策略的运用。研究表明,奥巴马在演讲中始终致力于构建积极的移民形象,强调美国作为移民国家的本质特征,并构建了支持、平等、合作的人际关系。同时,通过语篇策略的运用,奥巴马试图达到保持政策的连贯性和灵活性,保持政党优势的政治目的。本研究具有一定的实用价值。首先,本研究将语篇-历史分析法以及人际功能理论应用于对政治演讲的分析中,有助于加深人们对政治语篇的理解。其次,本研究对英语阅读与写作教学有一定的帮助,对学生的写作实践有一定借鉴意义。最后,本研究有助于提高人们的批评性语言意识,从而帮助人们更好地理解演讲人的实际意图。
