of people Thus, it will probably be an unacceptable mistake if this invaluable contribution to the accomplishment of this thesis is not mentioned First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Assoc Prof Dr Phan Van Que, my supervisor, who has patiently and constantly supported me through the periods of the study, and whose stimulating ideas, expertise, and suggestion have inspired me greatly through my growth as an academic researcher My special word of thanks goes to all the lecturers in the Faculty of Postgraduate Studies, Hanoi Open University for their very useful and interesting lecturers which have laid the foundation for my thesis Last but not least, my sincere thanks are delivered to my beloved family and friends, who unlimited love and support enabled me to complete this paper ii ABSTRACT This present thesis aims at dealing with investigating syntactic and semantic features of the LIKING verb group and their Vietnamese equivalents The methods selected to analyze the syntactic and semantic features are Descriptive method (to describe liking verb group in terms of their structures and meanings to draw some conclusions on the syntactic and semantic features), and Contrastive method (to detect the similarities and differences in the syntactic and semantic features of liking verb group in English and Vietnamese) The data were collected from five bilingual novels and short stories From theses novels and short stories, 96 examples are quoted, analyzed and used as the chief source for the qualitative evidence The received result is that, in terms of syntactic features , this verb group is used in only three sentence patterns (SVO, SVOC, SVOA) among seven sentence patterns; in terms of semantics, the liking verb group can be used with a variety of meaning in Vietnamese Theoretically, the study will provide a comprehensive and overall knowledge about the syntactic and semantic feature of the LIKING verb group in English Moreover, the similarities and differences between this verb group in English and In Vietnamese are very helpful in contrasting two languages Practically, the study will help the Vietnamese learners of English as foreign language use the English LIKING verbs effectively in daily communication It also helps the Vietnamese teachers teach the syntax and semantics of the liking verb group flexibly and sufficiently The findings of the study is hopefully to be beneficial to those who are engaged in teaching English as well as those who want to learn English as foreign language iii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS Co Object

language of modernization and technological advancement all over the world Learning English is also problematic for native speakers in general and foreign learners in particular because they are affected by their mother tongue during the process of studying grammar, vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation, etc On grammatical aspect, verbs have always been one of the most complex class words Verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence A verb states what is happening in the sentence There are many verbs in English and the Liking verbs play an important role in the sentence However in communication, we have difficulties in expressing our ideas, especially in transferring of words from a language to another one, in our case from English to Vietnamese There have been a lot of researchers conducting investigations into the liking verb group in both English and Vietnamese: in English R.M.W Dixon (1991), Gilbert Ryle (2009), Concept of Mind, Beth Levin (1993), English Verb class and alternations, and in Vietnamese, Hoang Tue (1962), Giáo trình Việt Ngữ, Nguyễn Kim Thản (1977), Động từ tiếng Việt, Hoàng Phê (1998), Vietnamese dictionary These studies thoroughly describe about the semantic features of Liking verbs group but they have not been exploited in term of syntactic features yet Moreover, the equivalents between two languages English and Vietnamese has not been implemented yet This study appeared as a result of difficulties that author faces in daily teaching related to the usage of these verbs Theoretically, the problem is that how to make sentence having the verb like, enjoy, love, admire, prefer, dislike, hate, regret, fear and in which patterns are used Practically, translators are confused when choosing these verbs to make English sentences and translate it into Vietnamese From these above reasons, the topic “Syntactic and semantic features of the Liking verb group in English and their Vietnamese equivalents” has been chosen Hopeful, the result of the study will be useful for learners of During the process of learning a foreign language, learners often impose the use of their mother tongue on that of the target language is an inevitable habit To help learners avoid such problem, it is teachers’ duty to point out all of the similarities and differences between the two languages in respect of the concerning issue In other words, contrastive analysis teaching is indispensable in such situation In translation, with the understanding of the use of language structures, it is easy to translate languages Translation exercises from Vietnamese into English and vice versa should be given to learners to help them use English liking verbs and their Vietnamese equivalents 4.5 Summary In this section, the syntactic and semantic features of the LIKING verb group in English have been discussed The syntactic of the LIKING verb group in English are analyzed in detail in terms of three sentence patterns (SVO, SVOC, SVOA) The semantics of the LIKING verb group in English are described in different senses of nine verbs like, love, hate, prefer, admire, dislike, regret, fear as the verbs of positive and negative admire verbs Then the comparison is given to collate with their Vietnamese equivalents As comparison, result of the study proves that there are some similarities and differences between the LIKING verb group in English and in Vietnamese Meanings conveyed by nine English verbs like, love, enjoy, regret, hate, admire, dislike, prefer, admire, and fear are not restricted in most dictionaries but also in seven novels and short stories Also, the study points out that speaker’s choice of a language form to interpret an event is rather important depending on his cognition of the situation he is talking about English liking verbs in different contexts can be perceived differently 49 Chapter 5: CONCLUSION In the final part of the thesis, the results of the study will be reviewed, then some conclusions from the detailed analysis of the previous chapter and some limitations and suggestions for future researches will be given 5.1 Concluding remarks The study has found out the answers to the three research questions It suggests some solutions to improving the teaching and translating methods of the LIKING verb group in both English and Vietnamese The results of the study were more numerous, and they seem to be more significant, with the most salient and general finding consisting in the fact that, despite a number of parallels between the verbs investigated, each of the verb perspective the linguistic scene in different ways Firstly, in terms of syntactic features, the LIKING verb group is analyzed into two parts: according to the sentence patterns and sentence elements This verb group is used in only three sentence patterns (SVO, SVOC, SVOA) among seven sentence patterns According to the sentence elements, in the LIKING verb group in English is the element that is most often present The subject in this group is normally a noun phrase, a pronoun Verbs belonging to the LIKING verb group are monotransitive and complex transitive verbs followed by direct object (Od) Secondly, in terms of semantic features, the liking verb group involves two roles: an Experiencer get a certain feeling about a Stimulus These verbs are transitive with the Experiencer in A relation and the Stimulus-which cannot be omitted – in O relation In another words, the verb the like, love, enjoy, admire are verbs of the positive admire verb, hate, dislike, regret, fear are verbs of the negative admire verb The study has found that the Vietnamese meanings of nine liking verbs investigated: the verbs Like has 12 meanings and takes the percentage of 12 %, the other verbs as enjoy, love, admire, fear, hate are 23 meanings with 23%, 15 meaning with 15 %, 11 meanings with 11%, meaning with 4%, 16 meanings with 16%, prefer, regret, dislike are meanings with 6% respectively 50 Finally, some suggestions to improving the teaching and translating methods of the LIKING verb group are mentioned Vietnamese grammar books and EnglishVietnamese dictionaries, it is momentously interesting to figure out that authors depending on each case, apply appropriate Vietnamese equivalents to the LIKING verb group The obvious conclusion to be drawn is one whereby the questions and goals of this study seem to have been answered in the course of the linguistic investigations The interface of the syntax and semantics of the LIKING verb group in English has been investigating and interpreted This seems to have had a bearing which were also investigated and accounted for 5.2 Limitations of the research Although the study has offered the syntactic and semantic features of the LIKING verb group in English and their Vietnamese equivalents, it has some limitations The results in this study are just relatively reasonable because of limited number of instances with nine verbs taken for analysis To assure that in the future research, more instances will be analyzed to have a standard result In the study, different syntactic patterns and derived meaning conveyed by the LIKING verb group have been scrutinized from semantic perspective through the componential analysis The study might be served as a foundation for studies on other active verbs Due to the limited time, the study has not investigated the syntactic feature of the verbs in passive voice yet Moreover, the study has not been analyzed from the point of view of culture and pragmatics English in this study is considered as source language and it has been presented relatively adequately but in term of Vietnamese equivalent, Vietnamese is considered as target language and it has not been completely studied yet Though great efforts have been made in this thesis to work out the best results, mistakes and limitations are unavoidable Therefore any your comments or corrections for our better work would be highly appreciated 51 5.3 Suggestions for further research As stated the limitations of the study, further research should be conducted as follows: - The LIKING verb group in English and their Vietnamese equivalents from the point of view of culture and pragmatics - The syntactic features of LIKING verb group in English in passive structure 52 REFERENCE ENGLISH Alexander L.G (1988) Longman
