| Riassunto: | Idioms are heavily loaded with cultural information. Although they share
some common ground, English idioms and Vietnamese idioms differ greatly due to
cultural differences. This thesis is to study the syntactic, semantic and cultural
features of English and Vietnamese idioms related to compliments and appreciation.
In the thesis, 150 English idiom samples and 150 Vietnamese idiom samples related
to compliments and appreciation are investigated. Both qualitative and quantitative
research instruments are used and 300 idioms in two languages together with
numerous of examples from various linguistics books, dictionaries, short stories and
from the Internet are taken into consideration and full study. The findings show
that idioms related to compliments and appreciation have remarkable syntactic,
semantic and cultural features and there are interesting similarities and differences
between English and Vietnamese in some features. This thesis also deals with the
implications for teaching and learning English as a foreign language in Vietnam for
teachers and students of English as well as for further study. |
