collected from English and Vietnamese stories involved interpersonal
metaphor, the paper aims at clarifying the features of interpersonal metaphors
in English and Vietnamese. With over 400 samples investigated and on the
theoretical explanation by Halliday about the two main types of interpersonal
metaphor: Metaphor of mood and metaphor of modality, the writer will make
a comparison about sub-types of these in qualitative and quantitative approach
. The writer will point out some similarities and differences of these sub-types
of interpersonal metaphors between English and Vietnamese. The final aim of
