| Summary: | Due to own extraordinary features, proverb is regarded as a special
field of any languages, therefore attracts a lot of attention to its uniqueness.
Proverbs expressing superstition are no exception. This thesis is to study
syntactic and semantic features of proverbs expressing superstition in English
and Vietnamese with the descriptive and contrastive method. Both qualitative
and quantitative analysis is conducted basing on the investigation of 300
proverbs expressing superstition in English and Vietnamese. The findings
show that these proverbs expressing superstition have remarkable syntactic
and semantic features and that there are some similarities and differences
between them. Some implications for teaching and learning English and
Vietnamese as a foreign language could finally be put forward in the thesis. |
