| Summary: | The study aims at finding out the cohesive and semantic features of
general nouns in English and Vietnamese for the purpose of implication in
teaching and learning English.
The data for the study are collected from websites, stories and novels.
The study is carried out through the adoption of descriptive, analytic,
qualitative and contrastive approaches.
In the finding and discussion, in terms of cohesive features of general
nouns, we have focused on discussing grammatical and lexical cohesiveness
of general nouns and their subordinate members in both languages mainly in
view of Halliday and Hasan [12] and John Flowerdew [16]. With respect to
semantic features of general nouns, the class of general nouns is a small set of
nouns having generalized reference within the major noun class are analyzed
and argued. Simultaneously, the similarities and the differences between
English and Vietnamese general nouns in terms of cohesive as well as
semantic features are also emphasized.
It is hoped that the findings of the research will make a certain
contribute to teaching and learning discourse analysis in general and general
nouns in particular. |
