摘　　要：基于系统功能语法人际功能理论,从人称、情态、语气三个角度,分析新任英国首相特雷莎·梅与前任首相卡梅伦就职演讲中人际意义的构建。研究发现,特雷莎·梅与卡梅伦在人际意义构建方面既存在共性又存在个性:二者共性体现为,人称上善于使用第一人称表达意愿并树立权威,情态上借助中、低量值情态动词缩短人际距离,语气上均充分利用了陈述语气表达自我主张和赢取民众支持;而个性在于,不同就职背景下,两者在高量值情态动词及第二人称动词选择上的差异。系统功能语法视角下研究不同语篇人际意义构建策略有助于深入解读政治语篇的组织结构及信息意图。Based on the interpersonal function of systemic functional grammar, this paper analyzes the construction of interpersonal meanings in the inaugural speech of Theresa May and that of David Cameron from the perspectives of personal pronoun, mood and modality. It is found that there exist both similarities and differences in the construction of interpersonal meanings. In terms of similarities, both of them make good use of first person to express their wills and establish their authority, try to shorten interpersonal distance through modal verbs of median and low degree of modality, and utilize the indicative mood to state their opinions and win supporters. In terms of differences, they result from both their preference to modal verbs of high degree of modality and their choice of second person verbs against their respective inaugural background. Therefore, a comparative study of different inaugural speeches in the light of systemic functional grammar will help to gain an in-depth understanding of the organization and informational purpose of political speeches.
