摘要：批评话语分析主要用于分析语言、意识形态和权力之间的关系，尤其是包括公共演讲的政治话语。文献综述研究发现隶属政治话语的总统演讲研究多数从隐喻、修辞、文体这三个角度出发，批评话语分析的研究较少见。批评话语分析基于韩礼德系统功能语法理论提出，本文旨在对乔·拜登的演讲作批评话语分析，运用系统功能语法为工具分析情态动词、人称代词、时态、关键词，以揭示拜登如何塑造美国新总统“团结与重建者”形象。分析得四点结论：一是演讲中善用中情态值动词宣传思想和观点；二是第一称复数代词表达合意；三是一般现在时时态的运用增强了话语的可信度；四是词汇重复突出演讲的关键词。希望本文的研究对批评话语分析在总统演讲的应用有新启示。
