| Izvleček: | Based on the theories of Discourse Analysis, this study makes an
investigation into the English and Vietnamese obituaries in an attempt to
discover some typical discourse features and then find out the similarities and
differences between English and Vietnamese obituaries in terms of their
structure, lexical choices and syntactic features. In addition, it aims at
exploration of the impact of some sociological factors on the form and
content of the obituaries as well as finding out the communicative functions
conveyed by this particular means of communication. This study elicited a
number of typical cultural characteristics of both two nations which lead to a
better understanding of the interrelated relationship between language and
culture. The findings of this study are clearly presented based on a survey of
30 obituaries in English and another 30 ones in Vietnamese which are taken
from popular newspapers and downloaded from prestigious websites of
government, regions or state agencies in England and in Vietnam. It is hoped
that the results of this study will really provide some practical knowledge for
comprehending a particular means of communication as well as for teaching
and learning cross-cultural communication. |
