Abstract:Every four years, American presidential inaugural addresses are the focus of the world. As an important cultural phenomenon in USA, delivering a presidential inaugural address has always a formal and regular way for a president to begin his term of presidency. The presidential inaugural addresses are not only exquisite in wording and phrasing, but also well organized in sentence structures.

   This thesis mainly discusses some ideas on the linguistic features of American presidential inaugural addresses.

   Firstly, American presidential inaugural address has a particular stylistic feature. It combines literary words with spoken language. Such combination makes each inaugural address a typical literary work for people to learn and follow. 

   Secondly, American presidential inaugural address contains rich rhetorical devices such as alliteration and assonance, parallelism and repetition, question and contrast. These rhetorical devices help to make the speech more vivid and powerful. They help the presidents to express themselves better and get people’s support.

   Finally, American presidential inaugural address has thick religious features. Although not all the presidents are religious believers, almost every one of them will refer to the God in their speech. The Bible makes the addresses more holy and scared, which the orators need to arouse people’s feelings.

Key words: American presidential inaugural address; stylistic features; rhetorical features; religious features
