the  Union  Address,  as  a  very  important  political  speech,  has  attracted many  scholars’  attention  in  China.  Comparatively,  it  hasn’t  received  enough  attention abroad.  There  are  few  foreign  scholars  who  have  conducted  a  research  about  State  of  the Union Address. Executive Office of the President (1997) studied Clinton’s State of the Union Address, delivered  on  February  4,  1997.  In  this  document,  they  paid  attention  to  Clinton’s  first priority which was to ensure that all Americans have the best education in the world. Colleen J. Shogan and Thomas H. Neale (2010) wrote the article The President’s State of the Union Address: Tradition, Function, and Policy Implications in which they studied the development and tradition of State of the Union Address. They also studied the policy impact of State of the Union Address. William  Galston  (2012)  examined  President  Obama’s  2012  State  of  the  Union Address  which  discussed  the  specifics  of  the  President’s  message  as  it  is  related  to  the economy, President Obama’s record, and Congressional politics.

Chapter Two Theoretical Framework and methodology 

This chapter serves as the foundation of establishing a new discourse analysis model for State of the Union Address. It consists of two parts: the theoretical framework and the methodology  of  this  thesis.  It  will  begin  with  a  focus  on  Kenneth  Burke’s  Identification Theory, and then a brief introduction of methodology will be presented. 

2.1  The Theoretical Framework 
This  part  mainly  focuses  on  the  introduction  to  Identification  Theory  and  the Identification  strategies.  It  will  provide  us  with  overall  understanding  on  the  theoretical framework  of  the  thesis,  which  will  help  us  know  the  two  types  of  strategies  of Identification Theory well. Identification Theory, the key conception of Kenneth Burke’s New Rhetoric, attempts to  make  people  united  and  induces  interpersonal  cooperation.  According  to  Burke,  when one  wants  to  persuade  people  of  his  viewpoints,  the  rhetor  must  endeavor  to  identify  the audience in the same way of speaking with him, such as using the same gesture, tone and image.   As  is  illustrated  in  the  Oxford  Advanced  Learner’s  Dictionary  (6th  edition), Identification  takes  root  in  “substance”,  which  is  the  most  important  or  main  part  of something.  We  are  who  we  are  when  we  have  our  unique  substances 本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
