ABSTRACT Idioms, a special form of language use, are shaped in the daily lives of people Idioms can also be considered as a reliable measure of the proficiency of foreign languages in general and English in particular It is the semantic and grammatical problems that cause difficulties for learners to grasp meanings of idioms With the aim of providing in - depth information about English and Vietnamese idioms, we have tried to work out some syntactic and semantic features of idioms relating to water in English and Vietnamese Moreover, some cultural contexts hidden behind these idioms are mentioned and analyzed in this thesis The study also puts forwards some implications for teaching and learning idioms We believe that they are helpful to teachers and students as well as translators
