Abstract

The current research paper aims to analyze the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly. It attempts to explore the transitivity process in political speech. In this research, the Ideational meta-function of Halliday’s systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is used as a theoretical framework. Transcription of Imran khan’s speech at UNGA is taken as research material. A quantitative research methodology is used in this paper to unveil levels of transitivity. The basic unit of transitivity analysis is a clause. For this purpose, a random sample of clauses is obtained from the text for analysis. The theme of Islamophobia, Kashmir, and related text is examined in this research. Transitivity analysis was scrutinized using UAM software, which is a corpus-based analysis tool. Participants, types of process, and circumstances were investigated in depth. Major findings showed that the material process of transitivity is most frequently used by speaker to represent actions and happenings in the physical world. This paper intends to highlight how linguistics analysis of political discourse can help to represent the ideology of leaders. The current research may be useful for linguists, researchers, and learners to interpret and analyze texts of different genres from the perspective of SFL.

摘要

当前的研究论文旨在分析巴基斯坦总理伊姆兰·汗在联合国大会上的讲话。它试图探索政治演讲中的及物传递过程。在这项研究中，将Halliday的系统功能语言学（SFL）的Ideaual元功能用作理论框架。伊姆兰·汗（Imran khan）在联合国大会上的讲话抄录被用作研究材料。本文使用定量研究方法来揭示可传递性的水平。传递性分析的基本单位是一个子句。为此，将从文本中随机抽取一些子句进行分析。伊斯兰恐惧症，克什米尔和相关文本的主题在本研究中进行了研究。使用基于语料库的分析工具UAM软件检查了传递性分析。参与者，过程类型，和情况进行了深入调查。主要研究结果表明，和声的物质过程最常被说话者用来表示物理世界中的动作和事件。本文旨在强调政治话语的语言学分析如何有助于代表领导人的意识形态。当前的研究对于语言学家，研究人员和学习者从SFL的角度解释和分析不同体裁的文本可能是有用的。
