| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | The study aimed to investigate lexical markers of emotion evaluation in
political speeches made by US president Barack Obama in terms of syntactic,
semantic features in order to help the Vietnamese students of English achieve
persuasive and coherent understanding of political language in English
concerning emotion. The thesis was designed for the analysis of lexical
markers of emotion to help Vietnamese learners of English have better
understanding of appraisal in general and emotion in particular. The study
focused on lexical markers of emotion in the category of Attitude, one of the
three subsystems within the Appraisal theory. This descriptive qualitative
study was conducted based on a descriptive framework of Functional
grammar by Halliday (1985) and Appraisal theory by Martin (2005).
President Obama’s speeches were examined to discover the semantic features
his political speeches and to examine the syntactic features in view of clause
as message and structural group in functional grammar and in terms of
Appraisal theory. The examination of the qualitative information of the
lexical markers of emotion in political speeches was done with examples
quoted from President Obama's speeches chosen from website
www.whitehouse.gov. It was conducted by analysing the data with 200
samples taken from extracts of Obama’s political speeches. The study found
that lexical markers of emotion evaluation used in President Obama’s
speeches appeared in syntactic forms such as adjective phrases, noun phrases,
clauses and sentences to assume the functions of Subject, Predicate,
Complement, and Adjunct in the Theme-Rheme structure. Semantically, these
lexical markers of emotion evaluation were found to signal the appraisal
values of In/Happiness, In/Security, Dis/Satisfaction and Dis/Inclination |
