摘　　要：本文以Halliday语篇功能理论为基础,考察了被动语态在语篇生成与理解中的作用,结果证实,被动语态可以实现7种语篇功能:话题确立、话题引导、话题延续、话题转换、焦点强化、焦点对比、语篇衔接与连贯。同时,被动语态的这7种语篇功能通常共同发挥作用,形成形式衔接、语义连贯的整体。Drawing on the theory of textual function proposed by Halliday, the present study attempts to explore the textual functions of passive voice in the process of text production and understanding. The present study comes to the conclusion that the passive voice in English demonstrates the following 7 textual functions： theme forcgrounding, theme introduction, theme continuation, theme shift, focus strengthening, focus contrast, and textual cohesion and coherence. These functions, however, usually collaborate with each other in a given text to realize structural cohesiveness and semantic coherence.
