| 总结: | This study made an investigation into news items on the East Sea issues
in English and Vietnamese newspapers (ENIESIs and VNIESIs) in order to
discover discourse features and find out the similarities and differences
between them in terms of the layout, lexical features, syntactic structures and
cohesive devices. The findings of this study are presented based on a survey
of 50 news items in English newspapers and 50 ones in Vietnamese
newspapers which are taken from the well-known websites such as the BBC,
the Washington post, the Thanhnien, the Tuoitre, the Quandoinhandan...
Thanks to the combinations of qualitative and quantitative approaches,
the discourse features of NIESIs in both languages were analyzed and
compared. In terms of layout, both ENIESIs and VNIESIs fix the suggested
template by Nguyễn Hòa, which is composed of four components:
background, elaboration/evidence, result, and comment. The lexical choice in
the thesis focused on words denoting tension and collision between
Vietnamese and Chinese guard forces. Words denoting tension in both
ENIESIs and VNIESIs could be either nouns with tense property itself or
nouns combined from a neutral noun and an adjective expressing tension.
100% of words denoting collision in ENIESIs were transitive meanwhile
98.45% of those were transitive in VNIESIs. In terms of syntactic features,
direct and indirect speeches; sentence types were investigated. English writers
tended to balance the use of direct and indirect speeches in their news items
(44.5% and 55.5%), comparing with a different propotion in VNIESIs (28.4%
and 71.6%). Both writers of ENIESIs and VNIESIs used simple sentences
with highest percentages, followed by complex sentences and then compound
sentences. In terms of cohesive devices, the grammatical and lexical cohesion
occupied 88.4% and 11.6% in ENIESIs respectively. A much different
proportion, 44.4% and 55.6% was found in VNIESIs. |
