The consultation is taken from YouTube. The doctor and the patient are women of different ages. The doctor is much younger than the patient. The paper uses systemic functional linguistics as the main theoretical framework, following the top-down approach to analysis; particularly from the analysis of the consultation in terms of field, tenor and mode down to the analysis of the consultation in terms of transitivity, mood and modality. The results of the analysis have revealed that behind the language the doctor and the patient used in their interaction exists social relation in which the doctor has the power over the patient. 2017-09-15T02:44:18Z 2017-09-15T02:44:18Z 2017 Article 2525-2445 http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/59112 en Vol 33;No 3 application/pdf H. : ĐHQGHN
