| Özet: | This study reports an investigation into semantic and pragmatic features
of utterances denoting negation without containing negative elements in
English and in Vietnamese. It attempts to find out the similarities and
differences as well as some outstanding advantages of applying semantics and
pragmatics in studying English as well as Vietnamese. The research data are
collected from English and Vietnamese best-seller novels. After collecting the
data, they are analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. In this study, for
the sake of contrastive analysis of negative sentences in English and
Vietnamese, descriptive and comparative methods are chosen to be the main
method of the study. By these methods, the study intends to describe, classify
and analyze English and Vietnamese utterance denoting negation based on
semantic and pragmatic features. The main findings of the study are the
statistics on the frequency of negative sentence types, the structure of negative
sentences in English and Vietnamese, the aims of negative sentences in
English and in Vietnamese and the similarities and differences between
English and Vietnamese negative sentences in terms of structures and uses.
These results obtained from the research help understand how to use negative
sentences correctly. Finally, these results aim to provide a new look at the
new approach of linguistic theory and to suggest the new way of teaching and
learning negative sentences |
