completion of the thesis Also, I would like to extend my special thanks to my teachers, my friends and my parents for their encouragement and support that help me overcome difficulties to complete this study ii ABSTRACT This paper presents a contrastive analysis of English and Vietnamese puns in newspaper headlines The study applies the framework of Delabatista (1996) and Yuan Chuandao (2005) to categorize puns 200 puns are collected randomly from 51 English newspapers and 31 Vietnamese newspapers in a bid to ensure the objectivity of the study Then, these puns are analyzed and compared The results of the research show that English and Vietnamese share the same communicative purpose and variety in the methods to create puns in newspaper headlines As for differences, English newspaper headlines tend to use puns based on the similarity of sounds, including homophonic, homonymic, paronymic puns while Vietnamese ones are inclined to meaning transference-based and idiom-based puns The significant impacts of using puns in newspaper headlines make articles become more eye-catching and easy to draw reader‟s attention Keywords: puns, newspaper headlines iii TABLE OF CONTENTS

Rationale For centuries, the press has always played an important role in transmitting information to the wide public, and in that way, it exerts considerable influence on the public, governments, and almost all other social entities Therefore, journalists always find ways to improve their articles The headline of a newspaper can be seen as the most important part of an article In other words, it is a crucial part that attracts readers The headline is always the first thing that readers pay attention to when they want to read or buy a newspaper It serves as a guide for readers to decide whether to continue reading the whole article or move to another one Therefore, a headline needs to be titled carefully and creatively The more eye-catching and impressive a headline is, the more readers the newspaper attracts There is no surprise that many newspapers are saturated with strategies to draw readers‟ attention Among those strategies is the use of puns Although they may share certain similarities, puns tend to be unique forms and specific to each language Puns are also special forms of humor based on semantic ambiguity, polysemy, homophony, amongst others Speakers and writers use the similarities of sounds and meanings to create surprises in the listeners and readers‟ interpretation Understanding puns is part of the process of language acquisition, so puns are part of charm that belongs to any language Learning to understand puns in a new language is both a cause and a consequence of language proficiency However, even native speakers need to utilize a great deal of linguistic information and background knowledge to understand a pun Without adequate background knowledge and cultural understanding, readers or listeners are likely to encounter difficulty understanding puns in another language Likewise, Vietnamese learners who study English encounter many difficulties in comprehending puns, especially English puns in newspaper headlines Obviously, it is not simply the matter of vocabulary It is language and cultural understanding The unique characteristics of puns pose a great challenge to Vietnamese learners of English when they begin to read English newspapers This is the reason why I decided to conduct the research “A contrastive analysis of English and Vietnamese puns in newspaper headlines” My expectation is that this research will help Vietnamese learners of English comprehend the use of puns and distinguish the similarities and differences between English and Vietnamese puns in newspaper headlines Aims of the study In light of Contrastive Analysis, the study attempts to help readers and learners gain better knowledge about puns in general and puns in English and Vietnamese in particular In addition, from this research, readers or learners can have some reference to make their own interpretation of puns in English or Vietnamese newspaper headlines which they encounter in real life Research questions The study is an attempt to analyze and contrast puns in English and Vietnamese newspaper headlines Therefore, the research seeks answers to the following questions: - What are the similarities between puns in English newspaper headlines and their counterpart in Vietnamese in terms of punning method? - What are the differences between puns in English newspaper headlines and their counterpart in Vietnamese in terms of punning method? 20 Yuan Chuandao (2005) English Pun and Its Classification Retrieved November 24, 2009, from http://www.languageinindia.com/april2005/englishpun1.html In Vietnamese Lê Trung Hoa &
