| الملخص: | This paper is to study syntactic, semantic and lexical features of
English and Vietnamese song titles. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis
is made use of through 186 song titles in English and 186 song titles in
Vietnamese which are collected through the Internet and song lists. The
findings show that song titles have remarkable syntactic, semantic and lexical
features and there are some similarities and differences between English and
Vietnamese. In terms of syntax, both English and Vietnamese song titles are
structured in the forms of phrases, dependent clauses and sentences. However,
in each structural type, some differences are found. In terms of semantic
features, song themes are recognized in the two languages, including “War”,
“Family”, “Transport”, “Media”, “Places”, “Music”, “Environment”,
“Holidays”, “School”, “Friendship” and “Pair Love”. In the corpus of the
study, songs about “Heroes” are listed in Vietnamese, not in English. In terms
of lexical features, certain differences can be seen in the patterns of word
formation and lexical choice, except for compounding and simple words,
which are used in both English and Vietnamese song titles. In addition, the
study will suggest some implications for language teaching activities and for
learners to master English linguistic features. |
