Vietnam National University, Hanoi, 2011 This thesis focuses on the use of grammatical metaphor in Barack Obama’s Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech. To fulfill this aim, the concept of “grammatical metaphor” is examined. The thesis starts by explaining the notion of “metaphor” in general and distinguishes lexical metaphor from grammatical metaphor in particular. Then, a study on grammatical metaphors in Barack Obama’s Presidential Nomination Acceptance speech is implemented based on the theoretical background of Halliday (1994) and Halliday & Matthiessen (1999). This is a descriptive research with both quantitative and qualitative techniques in data analysis. Two types of grammatical metaphors are ideational and interpersonal metaphors are densely used from the text. In ideational metaphor type, Barack Obama mainly used type 1 (quality → thing), 2 (process → thing), 5 (process → quality), 6 (circumstance → quality), 13 (thing → various) with high frequency. In interpersonal metaphor type, metaphor of mood and metaphor of modality are explained and illustrated to highlight the attitude and emotion of the speaker Electronic Resources |
