Hien ii ABSTRACT One of the most effective and colorful ways to transfer culture is the use of idioms which, however cause several troubles for English learners because of their confusing meanings To help learners have a better understanding of idioms, particularly idioms denoting health, this thesis conducts a study of syntactic and semantic features of idioms denoting health in English and Vietnamese Basing on the description and analysis of distinguishing features, the similarities and differences of idioms in the two languages are presented In addition, both the descriptive and contrastive methods are used in combination with the qualitative and quantitative approach The investigation is based on 109 samples of English idioms and 109 Vietnamese idioms denoting health from a wide variety of dictionaries and books about idioms These findings also aim at offering some practical implications for teaching and learning English iii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS A: Adverb C: Complement

APPENDIXES 67 vii CHAPTER INTRODUCTION 1.1 Rationale for the study Nowadays, together with growth of global connection, English language has become more and more important Especially in Vietnam, learning English seems to be one of main tasks of students In this process, they encounter a large number of difficulties, among which is understanding idioms Every country has got their own idioms that are specific to their own culture Learning the specific idioms related to a certain culture helps you learn more about the history, customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of it Idioms appear in every language, and English has thousand of them Today, most linguists would agree that the traditional definition of idioms as “deadmetaphor” fails to capture the different classes of metaphoric expressions There is body of evidence that suggests that the meaning of many idioms is at least partly defined by the meaning of the component words Wasow, Sag and Numberg (1983) claimed that individual parts of idiomatic expressions have identifiable meanings from which the figurative meanings of phrases as a whole are derived, and that the mapping between the two levels of meanings takes place in conventionalized rather than arbitrary ways Gluckberg (2001) also observes that while some idiomatic phrases are non-compositional (e g spic and span), others are fully compositional, with clear semantic mapping between the constituent words and their idiomatic referents For example, in the idiom pop in the question, pop can be mapped onto “suddenly ask” and the question can be mapped onto “marriage proposal” In compositional phrase, idiom constituents constrain both idiom interpretation and use For instance, the verb kick implies a discrete, swift action making it impossible to say he kicked the bucket all week, while one could say he lay dying all week Up to now, a lot of studies have been done on analyzing and categorizing idioms according to alphabetical arrangement Others concentrate on analyzing their semantic, structural and cultural features in number of idioms denoting color, anger, human body part, outward and appearance, richness and poverty, water, number or symbols of animals, comparison, causes and results, etc Nevertheless, an investigation into English and Vietnamese idioms denoting health in terms of syntactic and semantic has not been dealt deeply with so far process of the investigation, we have also discovered that most idioms contain simultaneous meanings That is the reason why sometimes, we find it is difficult to understand the idioms at the first sight Basically, the figurative meaning of idioms is usually conveyed through the expression means More interestingly, some idioms denoting health in Vietnamese have no equivalence in English and vice versa because of the cultural differences between two countries With regard for the second research question about the similarities and differences between English and Vietnamese idioms denoting health, the author found out that, English people tend to use verb phrase structures to communicate whereas Vietnamese people tend to use the sentence structures Semantically, there are categories meanings of idiom denoting health in English as follows: indicating the prophylactic, the treatment, the good health, the poor health, the death, the health recovery and the illness and symptoms In Vietnamese idioms denoting health, there also have categories such as: indicating the prophylactic, the treatment, the good health, the poor health, the advice, the prevention in eating and the longevity and desire It is easy to see that both English and Vietnamese idioms denoting health are employed for the same four topics such as: indicating the prophylactic, the treatment, the good health and the poor health In term of the third question about the solutions to teaching and learning English idioms denoting health, the author pointed out that applying the devices for teaching English idioms denoting health is effective Therefore, teachers can follow the formula whenever possible It also helps learners of English perceive patterns and relations regarding the meaning, the structure and the function of English idioms 5.3 Limitations of the study The thesis investigates syntactic features and semantic features of English and Vietnamese idioms denoting health Although the author has the best efforts of research, it is obvious that there are some certain limitations Firstly, the study only focuses on the syntactic and semantic features rather than cultural and pragmatic features of idioms denoting health In addition, in this thesis, the author studied only the idioms denoting health rather than other expressions like idioms denoting water, time, animals, colours, family or friends, etc Moreover, under the constraint of ability, the researcher could only compare 60 idioms under some criteria, which may not be totally adequate for thorough understanding of cross cultural similarities and differences However, the author hopes that the serious work had well served the research questions as a contribution to the rich collection of other previous studies in the same area 5.4 Recommendations for further study This thesis focuses only on studying the semantic and syntactic features of idioms denoting health in English and Vietnamese Therefore, there will be some topics left for further research: An investigation into cultural features of English and Vietnamese idioms denoting health An investigation into the pragmatic features of English and Vietnamese idioms denoting health 61 REFERENCES IN ENGLISH Alice, O & Ann, H (2006) Writing academic English: Longman Andrew, G (2012) Meaning and Humour: Cambridge University
