1. Introduction
“Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country”—derived from Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address delivered in 1961, this classic sentence, enjoys great popularity and is printed in every American?s memory. On January 20, 1961, Kennedy delivered his presidential inaugural address and assumed the post as the Chief Executive of the United States officially. On this Inauguration Day, he articulated his fundamental political principles and particular policies for the next four years. More important, he addressed the national crises and world situations in a tactical manner. During the Cold War in 1960s, Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address eased international tension and promised a bright future to the public. It may be rated as one of the classic masterpieces in American history of literature, which inspired generations of Americans. Therefore, the study of Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address has not only attracted the interests of politicians and historians, but also catches the attention of linguists.
Many researchers have been dedicated to the study of Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address. The works include: Kennidi Zongtong Jiuzhi Yanshuo Xiuci Tanxi (Xiang 2003), Kennidi Zongtong Jiuzhi Yanshuo Yuyan Tedian Tanxi (Zong and Yang 1989), Kennidi Zongtong Jiuzhi Yanshuo de Yuyan Yishu Tese (Huang 2004), just to mention a few. The researchers analysed Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address from rhetorical perspective, paying much attention to the effective use of words, phrases, and such prevailing sentence structures as “list of three” (e.g. try, try and try again) and “contrastive pairs” (e.g. day and night; young and old) (Andersen 1988: 262). It is true that all kinds of rhetorical devices can convey the interpersonal meaning of inaugural addresses. However, the interpersonal meaning of a speech cannot be achieved only with some appealing contents or beautiful words, but with every linguistic unit in the speech.
This dissertation aims to discuss how interpersonal meanings are realized in the discourse of political speeches, specifically in Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address. In so doing, we take Systemic Functional Grammar (henceforth SFG) as our theoretical ground. According to Halliday?s SFG, language is a resource for making meaning and it serves three metafunctions, ideational, interpersonal and textual. The interpersonal metafunction of language serves to interact with other people, to establish and maintain appropriate social links with them (Thompson 1987: 38).
2. Literature Review
Halliday interprets language as a social semiotic system, a network of interrelated and multi-layered systems of opinions in meaning. As a social semiotic, language has three systems: semantic system, lexico-grammatical system and phonological/graphological system. Moreover, “Within the linguistic system, it is the semantic system that is of primary concern in socio-linguistic context”(Halliday 2001). Halliday also defines the semantic system as a functional or functional-oriented meaning potential; a network of options for the encoding of some extralinguistic system or systems in terms of two basic components of meaning that we have called the ideational and the interpersonal (2001: 79). In addition, later Halliday added the textual component of meaning to it. These are to be interpreted not as functions in the sense of “use of language”, but as functional components of the semantic system—“metafunctions”as we have called them (Halliday 2001: 112). According to Halliday?s Systemic Functional Grammar, the interpersonal metafunction encompasses the dynamics of the relationship between the speaker and the hearer, and the use of language to express one?s attitude and to influence the attitudes or behaviour of the hearer.
Though Halliday?s opinion on interpersonal meaning is representative, he is not the first person who attaches importance to the study of this aspect of language. His idea on metafunction was greatly influenced by many researchers? study. One of the first researchers, who takes note of language and social interaction, is the anthropologist, Brainslaw Malinowski. He puts forward the term “phatic communion”to label …Trobriand islanders?highly functional use of language to achieve social intercourse. He describes such conversational uses of language as “a type of speech in which ties of union are created by a mere exchange of words”. The purpose of “phatic communion”is to establish interpersonal relations through language, which corresponds to Halliday?s interpersonal metafunction (Malinowski 1923, quoted from Hu, Zhu, Zhang and Li 2005: 12).
Buhler, from a psychological perspective, distinguished three functions of language: representational, expressive and conative functions (Buhler 1923/1990, quoted from Hu, Zhu, Zhang and Li 2005: 13). His model of three functions of language can be seen as a forerunner of Halliday?s three metafunctions: ideational, interpersonal and textual, which differs from Buhler?s, but is probably inspired by them.
Early in 1929, Bakhtin argued that “meaning does not reside in the word or in the soul of the speaker or in the soul of the listener.”It is “the effect of interaction between speaker and listener produced via the material of a particular sound complex”(Bahktin 1984: 103, quoted from Li 2002: 12). In current linguistics and literary studies we can easily observe a tendency to place greater stress on the interpersonal, variational and negotiable aspects of language in contrast to conventional concerns with the more ideational, content-based and stable relations between forms and meanings. This tendency is the natural outcome of the development of such a
consciousness toward the interpersonal aspect of language use (MacCarthy and Carter 1994: 25).
Halliday studied interpersonal meaning in terms of mood, modality and key, and made his grammar neat and concise. In his analysis, modality is partly subordinated to mood, which can be seen by looking at the components of mood. He also proposed that imperative, exclamative and imperative clauses and modal adjuncts can achieve the interpersonal meaning. Despite the achievements in the study of interpersonal meaning, Halliday still leaves many more resources capable of expressing interpersonal meaning unstudied.
Bex (1996: 108), with the analysis of the tenor of two letters, believes that the interpersonal potentials of language include the forms of greeting, the lexical choice of such words as “sure”, “suspect” which suggest degrees of epistemic certainty, and even features of typographical layout. Liu Shisheng (1998: 210), by the study of the narration of “Dubliners” by James Joyce, found that such syntactic units as adverbs or adverbial groups, prepositional groups, adverbial clauses, noun groups, verb groups, adjective groups, and set phrases could realize the interpersonal meaning .
As for Systemic Functional Grammar, Halliday points out that there are two possible levels of achievement to aim at: understanding and evaluation of the text (2000: F41). However, he studies the interpersonal meaning only from the perspective of clause. Li Zhanzi develops the study of interpersonal meaning to a wider range. She finds that interpersonal meaning can be achieved in personal system, tense, direct speech, reflexive language and evaluation apart from mood, modality and key mentioned by Hallidy ( Li 2002).
3. Theoretical Framework
The present study will be mainly based on the theories of Halliday?s Systemic Functional Grammar. To be specific, the interpersonal metafunction will be taken as the theoretical framework. It is hoped that the study may serve to show how the interpersonal meanings are realized in Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address through the use of modal auxiliaries, pronouns, imperative structures and tense shift.
4. Objective and Significance of the Study
The objective of the present study is to demonstrate how interpersonal meanings are realized through the use of modal auxiliaries, tense, imperative structures and personal system. It is hoped that the analysis on interpersonal meanings realized in the presidential inaugural address can reveal the maintenance of the relationship between the two parts, the speaker?s multiple aims and his(her) strong power on the hearers.
Halliday pointed out that the purpose of SFG is to provide a theoretical framework for discourse analysis (1985b,1994, quoted from Huang 2001). Thus, the
study will be an application of SFG in written discourse analysis, one of which is presidential inaugural address. It is intended to give some sense of the rising awareness of the significance of studying interpersonal meaning in the political speech. Apart from that, it is also intended to be a challenge to traditional studies of speeches, which pay too much attention to the content and beautiful sentence structure of the speeches. Hopefully, it will be also significant for the successful delivery of political speech.
5. Research Questions
Since the study focuses mainly on the interpersonal meaning of the presidential inaugural address—the political speech, the research questions are put forward as follows:
(1)What are the features of political speeches and presidential inaugural
addresses?
(2)How to analyse the interpersonal meaning of Kennedy?s presidential inaugural
address? Can the linguistic units such as modal auxiliaries, tense, imperative structures and personal system achieve different interpersonal meanings? (3)What is the significance of the study on the interpersonal meaning of
Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address?
(4)
6. Future work
6.1 Procedure
According to the objective of the dissertation and the research questions,the present study is supposed to consist of the following steps:
Step 1:Reviewing related literature (A detailed literature review of the studies of the interpersonal meaning will be presented.)
Step 2:Collecting and observing data. (Acquire a deep understanding of Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address.)
Step 3: Applying the theoretical framework to the analysis of the data.
Step 4: Discussing and drawing conclusions. (The findings of the study will be discussed and summarized.)
6.2 Methodology
The analysis will be data-driven, using Kennedy?s presidential inaugural address as a data. The study is a qualitative one rather than a quantitative one.
