文档介绍：摘要
本文主要采用定性与定量相结合的研究方法，以韩礼德系统功能语法理论中的人际功能理论为分析框架，从语气、情态及人称代词三个方面进行解读和分析，试图探究英国女王的圣诞演讲在语气、情态和人称代词所体现的人际功能。
经研究发现：1）在语气系统中，使用频率最高的是陈述语气，其次是疑问语气，没有用到感叹语气和祈使语气。这恰好体现了女王圣诞演讲的基本功能和作用。陈述语气通常用来提供信息，如圣诞节的历史来源，女王及皇室成员过去及未来的参加的活动，并展示英国皇室对英国公民的关心。陈述语气比疑问语气和祈使语气更具有说服力和可接受性。 2）在情态系统中，意态表达和情态表达频率相同，意态表达使演讲更加客观，情态表达则是演讲更加平易近人，女王演讲是两者巧妙结合。并且中值情态动词的使用最多，其次是低值情态动词，在女王2017年的圣诞演讲中高值情态动词几乎没有用到。低值情态动词的使用拉进了女王与公民的距离，中值情态动词则使女王演讲既具有客观性有带有一定情感。3）在人称系统方面第一人称使用比例远高于二三人称，也就是说女王从自己角度向听众传递信息，使听众对演讲内容进一步了解和接受。第三人称高于第二人称，从客观的角度叙述相关事实，表明女王演讲的可靠性，进而赢得观众的认可和支持。
本文探究了英国女王通过语言选择与听众建立有效交流，以及揭示女王对国际热点时事的态度，对历史事件的反思，对国内和国际民众的慰问与鼓励。该研究有助于帮助读者进一步理解女王演讲，也再次证明了韩礼德系统功能语法理论的实用性和适用性。

Abstract
This thesis adopts quantitative and qualitative research methods to uncover the interpersonal function embodied in Queen`s Christmas speech in 2017 via the analysis of its mood, modality and personalpronoun under the framework of interpersonal function of SFG of Halliday.
Through analysis, it can be found that: 1) Declarative mood takes up a big percentage in the speech, followed by interrogative mood. This accords with the two basic functions of Queen`s Christmas` speech in 2017. Declarative mood is used to provide information, such as the historical origin of Christmas, the past and future activities of the queen and the royal family, and the concern of British royalty to British. The declarative mood is more persuasive and acceptable than the interrogative mood and imperative mood. 2) The modulation takes up the same percentage with the modalization, and the former makes the speech more objective in modality system. The Queen's speech is the ingenious combination of these two. Moreover, the median modal verb is the most frequently used, followed by the low value modal verb. In the Queen's Christmas speech in 2017, the high-value modal verbs were hardly used. The low value modal verbs shorten the distance between the queen and the citizen. The median modal verb makes the Queen's speech objectivity
