The study attempts to investigate the semantic and syntactic features of
collocations containing the word love in English and Vietnamese songs. This
investigation is based on a corpus of 100 famous English songs and 150
Vietnamese songs randomly gathered from the different web sites such as
http://www.loibaihat.info,http://www.lyrics007.com, http://www.metrolyrics.com,
http://www.dactrung.com etc. The research is carried out thorough the adoption of
quantitative and contrastive approaches. The most important and significant
aspect of the study, the similarities and differences between English and
Vietnamese collocations in English and Vietnamese songs in the view of
semantic and syntactic features, is presented in order to help learners have better
use of language in communication. The findings of the study show the
frequency and variety in terms of semantic and syntactic features of
collocations. Lastly, suggestions have been made based on the result of the
analysis in order to apply these collocations effectively in teaching and learning
languages. |
