Abstract

Insert language is a common language phenomenon, it appears in a large variety of style. Because the insert itself is independent of the attached sentence in both form and content, it is regarded as an optional ingredient. So since the insert language dispensable, why does it appear in a variety of discourse? What function does it have? This study is based on this issue, using Halliday's theory of Metafunction and Adjunct to study English insertions in speech discourse, The analysis of the insert language makes a possible explanation of the deep mechanism it produces. At the same time, this article also provides a new perspective for the study of speech discourse, that is, through some of its idioms, some stylistic features of speech discourse. This article collects the outstanding award-winning lectures of 20 American college students of the same type (Persuasive). After analyzing 442 inserts among them, one can find that it is entirely possible to classify the insertions by using the three meta-functions. This also proves that Functional linguistics can analyze insertions. In the end, based on the classification of the function of the insert language, according to the concrete distribution of each type of insert language in the speech discourse, according to the occurrence frequency and ratio, it is pointed out that the insert language in the speech discourse, whether in the performance of things , Plays an important role in organizing information and interpersonal meaning, and plays different roles in reaching the effect of speech..
