from our relatives, our teachers, our friends, the media, and our literature These classic sayings contain folk wisdom gathered through time and experience They often capture a common human experience across cultures and languages Hence, using proverbs in the language teaching not only provides learners with rich vocabulary but also equips them with a good basis of cultural knowledge reflected in the proverbs themselves Through their keen observation of the world, hundreds of human generations have created proverbs and used them The condensed nature of proverbs allows them to be interpreted repeatedly, across time and in different situations They are interesting because they not only tap into universal themes in the human condition, such as the physiological rhythms of the human life cycle, but they also vary in ways that appear to reflect specific cultural differences In the home and in other community settings alike, proverbs are used to pass on rich cultural traditions, to transmit folklore, and to communicate expected codes of behavior (Matthew S Kaplan, PhD, 2002, p.1) So far, there have been a large number of researches conducted to investigate different features of proverbs as well as their applicability in language teaching Yet, most of the studies deal with proverbs in general In this paper, the researcher would like to focus only on the English weather proverbs, put them in the comparison and contrast with Vietnamese ones in terms of semantic features TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Weather, as we know, has been closely associated with us since we appeared in the world Our life, our work, our feelings are often influenced by weather In the past, before modern scientific weather forecasts existed, people whose lives and livelihood depended on the weather relied on weather proverbs to predict weather changes Nowadays, even with our access to sophisticated weather prediction techniques (such as satellites, weather balloons, super computers, Doppler radar, and a complex communications network) for production of reasonably accurate daily weather forecasts, many people still utilize common knowledge of the weather through weather proverbs because it is a simple way for them to predict the weather conditions by themselves The reason for the researcher‟s choosing weather proverbs is that more than any other kind of proverbs, they illustrate the process human beings explore the natural world and form their world-view as well as gain experience in dealing with nature, serving their need of economic development If you know many proverbs, and have a little understanding of how weather systems work, you may conclude that proverbs tell you much about the weather Even if the proverbs are not ideally accurate, they will remind us about a weather system and help us learn and remember how weather system works More importantly, weather proverbs make us much more aware of our environment so we can observe and appreciate the many wonderful and intricate things going on in our natural surroundings Proverbs can help us understand and table out various weather situations In addition, studying English weather proverbs (EWP) and Vietnamese weather proverbs (VWP) plays an important role in interpreting and using this type of proverbs All the points mentioned above are fundamental impetuses that stimulate the researcher to conduct this study Research aims and research questions 2.1 Research aims First of all, through the investigation into the semantic features of weather proverbs, the researcher aims at discovering linguistic values underlying the literal words TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Secondly, the study is to compare and contrast semantic features of weather proverbs in English and in Vietnamese Thirdly, the study is to equip learners with rich knowledge on Vietnamese proverbs and English proverbs in general and on weather proverbs in particular In addition, some suggestions for teaching and learning English proverbs are also mentioned 2.2 Research questions What are the semantic features of EWP and EWP? What are the similarities and differences between EWP and EWP in terms of their semantic features? Scope of the research As proverb is a very broad topic, under the constraint of time, experience and shortage of materials, the researcher cannot cover all kinds of proverbs but focus on weather proverbs only In addition, the researcher only concentrates on semantic features although the study would be of greater success if it deals with other linguistic and non-linguistic features of weather proverbs such as pragmatics, culture and syntax However, some aspects of culture are used to explain some different elements between two languages when it is necessary Significance of the research It is obvious that proverbs occupy a large part in almost every language It is hoped that along with the understanding of the semantic features of proverbs in general and those of weather proverbs in particular, the findings of the study can help learners employ weather proverbs more regularly, spontaneously and effectively Language learners can exploit them as a source of language units to enrich and color their writing and speaking in both academic and daily settings As regards the teaching process, this thesis can also provide such a great reference source in the subject of semantics It can help to improve teachers‟ awareness of the importance of proverbs as an inseparable unit of the linguistic system and the need to include them into the curriculum TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Structure of the research The study is composed of three parts: Part A, Introduction, includes the rationale, aims, research questions, scope of the research, significance of the research, and structure of the research Part B, Development, includes three chapters Chapter 1, Literature Review, reviews some publications on weather proverbs and previous studies as well as establishes the theoretical background for the study as the firm foundation with definitions of proverbs and weather proverbs The distinctive and remarkable characteristics of these phenomena will also be unearthed in order to provide a clear concept from the beginning Chapter 2, Research Methodology, deals with the research design and procedures In this chapter, description of the sampling, instruments, the procedure of data collection and analysis for implementing the thesis are mentioned Chapter 3, Major Findings and Discussions, is the main part of the research, which includes a generalization about the semantic features of weather proverbs in both languages - English and Vietnamese - and in what ways they are similar to or different from each other The latter discusses some weather proverbs that are not reliable in both languages Part C, Conclusions, summarizes the main content of the research and draws out conclusions This part also gives implications for teaching and learning PDW Moreover, a statement of limitations and suggestions for further research are also indicated in this chapter Apart from that, references and appendices are enclosed for those who are interested in studying the same issues TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com PART B: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW 1.1 Some publications on weather proverbs and previous studies Up to now, there have been many books and dictionaries on proverbs, especially on weather proverbs, but most of them focus on explaining the meanings as well as the equivalents in other languages The books entitled “Weather Proverbs: How 600 Proverbs, Sayings, and Poems Accurately Explain Our Weather” written by George Freier was very informative and still applies In this book, the author defines and classifies weather proverbs He also mentions weather proverbs in terms of semantic fields as well as troubles with some proverbs “Weather proverbs” is the book written by H H Dunwoody in 1977, including Popular Weather Prognostics by Ralph Abercrombie & William Marriott and Proverbs Relating to Animals by Dr C C Abbott Proverbs are classified into semantic fields relating to birds, clouds, dew, fish, fog, frost, insects, the moon, plants, rain, rainbows, reptiles, stars, snow, sun, thunder and lightning, trees, wind, years, seasons, months, weeks and days, and general prognostics The collection “Weather lore; a collection of proverbs, sayings, and rules concerning the weather" by Richard Inwards comprises only those proverbs, sayings, or rules in some way descriptive or prophetic of the weather and its changes, and does not for the most part include those in which the winds, sun, and clouds are only brought in for purposes of comparison and illustration While weather proverb books have been published by foreign grammarians, writers, dictionary compilers and linguists, there have not been any Vietnamese books focusing on weather proverbs only We can find weather proverbs in some Vietnamese books as “Thành ngữ-tục ngữ Việt Nam” by Thùy Linh, “Ca dao tục ngữ Việt Nam” by Thu Phuong Weather proverbs are also collected and explained their meanings in some dictionaries such as “Từ điển thành ngữ, tục ngữ Việt Nam” (2000) by Vũ Dung, Vũ Thúy Anh, Vũ Quang Hào, “Từ điển thành ngữ tục ngữ Việt Nam” (2006) by Nguyễn Lân, etc TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com
