2011年5月1日,美国总统奥巴马发表全国电视演讲,宣布“基地”组织领导人奥萨马·本·拉登已被美军打死。该演讲将美国民众的感情推向了高潮,这不能不说是奥巴马演讲的魅力所在。本文将从主题延续性角度对奥巴马该演讲的连贯性进行分析。得出正是这种由时间,地点,行动以及主要参与者的转变所引起的主题非延续性现象,使得说话者能根据一个语块,一个主题组来更好的组织自己的演讲,这样的语篇更加具有连贯性,条理更加地清晰。同样,也使得听众能更好地处理和理解说话者所表达的大量信息,更清楚的获得演讲者想要通过演讲所要传递的意图。
On May 1, 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama delivered a national television speech announcing that Osama bin Laden, leader of Al Qaeda, has been killed by U.S. forces. The speech culminated in the feelings of the American people, which can not but be described as the charm of Obama’s speech. This article will analyze the consistency of Obama’s speech from the point of continuity of the theme. It is this noncontentious theme that results from this shift in time, place, action, and major players, enabling speakers to organize their speeches better based on a chunk of topics and a set of topics Discourse is more consistent, coherent and more clearly. Also, it allows the listener to better handle and understand the vast amount of information the speaker is expressing and more clearly gain the speaker’s intent to deliver through the speech.
