Experiential function in public speeches plays an important role in determining ideational meaning. This investigation will be focused on Halliday’s dimension of contexts. As Eggins (2004: 352) states that text is not life – it is life mediated through the symbolic system of language, that is the experiences we go through life consists of ‘going on’ – happening, doing, sensing, meaning, being, and becoming – in the speech or text. As systemic functional Grammar (SFG) framework will be used as a key analytical tool in revealing how lexical choices or grammar shapes meanings in 123rd Stanford Commencement Speech. In term of context of situation, as suggested by Halliday & Webster (2009: 7) field represents the selection of options from experiential system, which is choices to transitivity structure, or process types, participant roles, and circumstances elements. This research has the aims: 1) to uncover what the system of transitivity construction by both Bill and Melinda Gates’ in 123rd Stanford Commencement Speech 2014, 2) to uncover the different construction of field of discourse between Bill and Melinda Gates’.
