hyperbole used in football commentaries in English and Vietnamese
newspapers, and to help Vietnamese learners of English achieve
comprehensive understanding of hyperbole in both English and Vietnamese.

in English and Vietnamese (350 hyperboles for each language) from online
newspapers. From the study‘s results, the thesis gave a remarkably detailed
