ABSTRACT

The "FLTRP Cup" National English Speech Contest, a very popular speech contest jointly organized by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press and Higher Education Universities of the Ministry of Education, has become a popular speech contest among college students with the largest scale and deep influence. It has selected many talents with excellent comprehensive English proficiency, and it is of great significance to study the speech strategies of such outstanding talents. Therefore, this paper selects the corpus of the winner and runner-up of "The Grand Course" as the speech theme in the speech finals of the FLTRP Cup in 2022, based on interpersonal function in Halliday's systemic functional grammar. This paper analyzes the corpus from the three aspects, mood system, modality system, and person system, to explore how interpersonal function is developed in speech. By analyzing the interpersonal meaning of such speech activities, this paper not only provides reference for future speech participants, but also for the corresponding teaching of speech activities.
