摘　　要：以Halliday系统功能语言学中的及物性系统为理论框架,对特朗普和奥巴马的总统就职演说进行及物性分析,旨在揭示两篇演说在及物性过程分布情况和功能方面的异同。研究发现,六种过程在两篇演说中的分布情况大体一致,物质过程出现频率最高,其次是关系过程、心理过程,而其它三种过程极少出现。六种过程具有不同的功能。特朗普用引用作为言语过程以加强自己的权威地位,使用行为过程表达自己切实关心美国民众。奥巴马使用物质过程追溯美国先驱,用关系过程描述经济危机。两篇演说的及物性选择源于相似的演讲意图和不同的历史背景与总统个人经历。Based on transitivity system in Halliday＇s Systemic Functional Grammar, this paper aims to conduct a transitivity analysis to compare the distribution and functions of six processes in Trump＇s and Obama＇s presidential inaugural addresses. It is found that the general distribution of six processes is similar in the two addresses. Material processes highly dominate the speeches, followed by relation al processes and mental processes, while the other three processes have a very low occurrence. The study also finds different functions of six processes. Trump employs quotations as verbal process to strengthen his authoritative status and uses behavioral processes to show his concern for American cit izens. Obama uses material processes to trace the ancestors of America and uses relational processes to describe the economic crisis. Similar intentions of the speeches and different personal background of the presidents and different situations of the time lead to choices of processes in the two speeches.
