description	This is a contrastive investigation into linguistic features of expressions of public signs in English and Vietnamese. The investigation focuses on syntactic and semantic features of expressions of public signs to find out similarities and differences of expressions of public signs used in English and Vietnamese. In order to obtain these aims, a quantitative method, a qualitative method and a contrastive analysis method are taken into account. The data are collected from various sources such as newspapers, posters, public areas, parks, hotels, restaurants, etc and from the internet. The findings show that expressions of public signs have remarkable syntactic and semantic features such as phrases, sentences to some extent. The investigation also provides some implications for compiling public signs and using them effectively
