| Abstract | ||
| Abstract Critical discourse analysis studies how social power and inequality are expressed in text and talk in social and political contexts. This study aims at showing the discoursal structure and linguistic features of President Obama's speech within the framework of functional linguistics. The study hypothesizes that the relational process is the most dominant one. In addition, President Obama's discoursal strategies are short and simple. Moreover, personal pronouns are the most frequent and positive rather than negative modality is used. Finally, Obama's speech involves less offensive and metaphorical words. The study has come up with the fact that the speech involves the use of relational verbs and spatial, temporal and reason circumstances, as well as other features that confirm the hypotheses rose. | ||
