| Summary: | Modality in political speeches has been arousing much interest among
researchers. This paper was conducted on the ground of Systemic Functiona
l Grammar, introduced by Halliday (1994). According to the theory, modality is analyzed as a
system of type, polarity, orientation and value. Two remarks declaring Barack
Obama‘s candidacy for presidents in 2008 and 2012 were investigated. The study
firstly focused on the lexico-grammatical realizations of modality. Secondly, modal
features denoted in the two selected political discourses were taken into consideration.
Finally, appropriate discussions and comparisons were also be made. |
