relation with various structures and meaning nuances. There have been
several research papers related to these verbs in English, yet they are still

English admission verbs and their Vietnamese equivalents in terms of their

English admission verbs (EAVs) and Vietnamese admission verbs (VAVs) in
the above mentioned aspects. Due to the lack of time and materials, we focus
on six English admission verbs acknowledge, admit, concede, confess, grant
and recognize and their Vietnamese equivalents. In addition, the findings of
the study were presented based on a collection of 376 samples of English and
Vietnamese sentences consisting of admission verbs which are taken from
novels and short stories by English and American writers.
