A study on linguistic Features of english word groups Containing the word “heart” and the Vietnamese ones containing the word “tim”

Abstract

The thesis has been carried out with an attempt to reach a profound understanding of English word groups containing the word “Heart” (EWGH) and Vietnamese word groups containing the word “Tim” (VWGT). In the study, the notions of the word structure, word groups and semantics - the study of meaning are presented and discussed in the theoretical framework on which EWGH and VWGT are collected, classified, described and analyzed. Thanks to the careful process of choosing the data and the effective methods of comparison and contrast, similarities and differences between EWGH and VWGT in the survey in the view of syntax and semantics are revealed so that learners will have a better and more effective use of language in communication. As a result, some findings have been discovered. The role of EWGH and VWGT is not only denoting a human body organ but also expressing emotions, thoughts and ideas in the most subtle and effective ways based on different writing styles of each author and different cultural features of each nation. The word “heart” and the word “tim” appear in language both as a single word and in WG, which makes a great contribution to the development of the vocabulary system, the diversity in syntax and the richness in semantics. Based on findings, some teaching implications have been put forward and some suggestions for further study are made for later studies of this problem.
