摘 要
语言作为一种工具,在社会交际中有着重要的意义。在不同的情景中，同一人使用的语言会有所不同；在同一种情景中，不同身份的人使用的语言也会不同；甚至同样的人在同样的环境中也有可能使用不同的语言形式。英国语言学家韩礼德对这一语言使用时的各种变异现象进行了系统而深入的探讨，并提出了语域理论。基于这一理论，本文选取了丘吉尔的演讲辞作为探讨材料。原因如下：演讲辞是一类具有高度浓缩语言艺术的语篇，它是演讲者根据语境以及身份等因素选择出的最合适的语言，因此对其进行语篇略论具有一定的实际意义；其二，在众多的演说家中，丘吉尔绝对是一位不可多得的人才，他幽默果敢，亲切而又坚决，他的语言极具号召力，他的很多演讲都成了传世佳作。在二战期间，丘吉尔更是用其高超的演说才能激励着英国人民取得了战争的最终胜利。所以本论文将在语域理论的指导下，以语场，语旨，语式三方面为切入点，英语论文题目，通过对“德国入侵苏联”的广播演讲的略论，英语论文范文，更好地欣赏和学习公众演讲的语言技巧。
