责任型情态的人际意义研究——以《卡梅伦就苏格兰公投发表的声明》为例

A Study on Interpersonal Meanings of Deontic Modality——Taking Scottish Independence Referendum: Statement by the Prime Minister as an Example

以系统功能语言学关于情态与人际功能的论述为出发点,通过对《卡梅伦就苏格兰公投发表的声明》(以下简称"声明")的责任型情态的数据统计发现该语篇多选用义务性责任型情态、高量值责任型情态以及客观的责任型情态,既表明了英国政府公开承认苏格兰公投结果的有效性,尊重投票的结果,又体现了卡梅伦及其政党的立场和决心。该声明成功传达了演讲者及其代表政党的意识形态。

Taking the modality and interpersonal function of Systemic Functional Linguistics as its theoretical framework and based on the statistics and illustration of Scottish Independence Referendum：statement by the Prime Minister（“Statement”as follows）,this study finds that the speaker prefers obligation,high level and objective deontic modality devices,which expresses the attitude of UK publicly acknowledging the effectiveness of the result of this referendum,the respect of the result,and the position and determination of Cameron and his political party. This statement successfully spreads the ideology of the speaker and the political part the speaker repre-sents.
