Abstract
Language, as a tool of communication, is one of the main features that distinguishes human beings from other creatures. To use this feature cooperatively in communication, people have to produce texts (written or spoken) that meet the seven standards of textuality which are “cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, informativity, situationality and intertextuality”. This study investigates how Biden regards intentionality standard in his inaugural speech. It aims to show how the president pays his attention to make his text cohesive and coherent and how he employs and observes the notion of speech acts and conversational maxims. The study concludes that Biden paid his attention to make his text communicative by regarding intentionality standard. He produces text that has cohesion and coherence property with employing to speech acts notion and observing for the four conversational maxims.
