The present paper aims to describe and analyze the volitive modality, which refers to the Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) of Hengeveld and Mackenzie (2008), to what is (in) desirable, from two parameters, the domain semantic and the modal orientation. For this, was chosen for Jair Bolsonaro's speech of possession, which was delivered on January 1, 2019 and made available online. From the description and qualitative analysis undertaken, we verified that the volitive modality manifests itself in the inaugural speech, with orientation towards the Participant, given that the speaker (president-in-office) tends to express his pretensions in terms of political actions in his inauguration, getting involved with the performatization of the event on which volition affects. In addition, the volitive modality tends to be related to the non-controllability of the state-of-affairs, having an animated subject [+ human] as the source of the modal attitude, which may or may not be specified in the discourse [± determined]. In relation to tense and mode, the president-elect prefers to use the present in the indicative way, the volitional now of enunciation, although the event is located later (futurity).
