| Sammanfattning: | Interpersonal metaphor is a new concept of metaphors working in
language in general. Yet, there have not been many researches on this area.

book An introduction to Functional Grammar (1985, 2004) and on the data
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
this paper is to make some contribution to making readers and especially
English learners be more aware of this kind of metaphor and from then able to
understand more deeply the discourses they read. |
