Abstract

Following the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics, this article aims at developing a study of Martin Luther King�s speech �I have a dream�, paying attention to aspects related to the social function of language (ideology, context of culture, and the variables of the context of situation), and to the relationship between grammar and meaning (marked syntax, rhetorical devices, and vocabulary). This study intends to explain how this speech creates meaning with different linguistic resources. The analysis will show how the selection of different linguistic resources allows the author to create a social reality through language, to contribute to the vividness of the speech, and to build the reality of the historical moment that the speech shows: the historical period of exploitation of population in the United States.
