Hai phong, May 2020 Chu Thi Hanh iv ABSTRACT This thesis conducts a study of syntactic and semantic features of determiners in English noun phrases and their Vietnamese translation in the work “The Great Gatsby” Both descriptive and contrastive methods are used combined with the qualitative and quantitative approach In order to collect the data, a hand search approach of the grammar books in both languages has been conducted, which helps to find out then analyze 295 examples containing the words denoting determiners in English and about 200 examples in Vietnamese together with a numerous number of examples taken from various linguistics books, dictionaries, newspapers and from the Internet From the study’s results, the thesis gives a remarkably detailed description of semantic and syntactic features in English speeches containing the words denoting determiners in noun phrases with reference to their Vietnamese equivalents and points out some similarities and differences between them The findings also aim at offering some practical implications for teaching and learning English and Vietnamese as a foreign language Finally, some suggestions for further studies are put forward

around the world It is easy to realize that English language has been common in the world and more and more linguists have been studying it In fact, studying English language has become one of the essential demands of people Therefore, learning and using English in communication becomes very important and necessary All English learners in general and Vietnamese learners in particular desire to master English as native speakers However, people often face to a lot of difficulties that prevent them from gaining successful conversations One of the reasons of these problems is that they meet difficulty in understanding and using determiners in English noun phrases in communication In English grammar, the structure of a noun phrase especially the determiners in a noun phrase bring difficulties to teachers and learners of English since they have many subclasses with different features as well as usages Therefore, studying determiners in a noun phrase is necessary to improve knowledge of English of the leaners Theoretically, according to standard semantic accounts, a determiner is taken to denote some function that yields a generalized quantifier qua noun phrase denotation from the (restriction) set or property denoted by the nominal head A generalized quantifier is a set of sets in extensional systems Determiners in a noun phrase is an interesting theme in English grammar Besides, a noun phrase constitutes a heterogeneous class of items with numerous subclasses Thus, its scope is very large Practically, many researchers have analyzed the structural, functions and the semantic features of determiners However, the semantic and structural features of of determiners in English noun phrases and their Vietnamese translation in a novel have not been studied so far There is a need to study the semantics and structures of determiners in English and their Vietnamese equivalents in a novel In the hope that the result of this study can help Vietnamese learners of English improve their understanding of determiners and apply them in communication so that their speech is more adequate and effective Thus, the topic “Determiners in English noun phrases and their Vietnamese translation in the work ‘The Great Gatsby’ ” is chosen for my study Because of the limitation of time, my research only concentrates on basic noun phrases not on complex ones All the illustrations in my research are collected and analyzed from the novel“ The Great Gatsby” Moreover, I am a teacher of English, studying the theme "Determiners in English noun phrases and their Vietnamese translation in the work ‘The great Gatsby’" will bring me good advantages; I have more chances to improve my knovvledge and I can also use determiners more effectively 1.2 Aims and objectives of the study The study is expected to help learners of English master determiners in the English noun phrases in terms of structural and semantic features effectively The paper is aimed at achieving the following objectives: * To identify structural and semantic features of determiners in English noun phrases and their Vietnamese translation in the work “The Great Gatsby” * To find out the similarities and differences between determiners in English noun phrases and their Vietnamese translation in the work “The Great Gatsby” in terms of their structural and semantic features * To suggest some implications for teaching and learning determiners in English noun phrases and their Vietnamese translation 1.3 Research questions What are the structural and semantic features of determiners in noun phrases in the novel? What are the similarities and differences between determiners in English noun phrases in the novel and their Vietnamese translation equivalents; 1.4 Methods of the study The following methods are used in the research process: + Description: describing the syntax characteristics and meanings of determiners + Material analysis: reading reference books to find and collect needed information On the other hand, collecting the specific examples from the novel “The Great Gatsby” for the study + Consultations: having discussion with the supervisor, other lecturers and friends + Comparison and contrast: selecting, comparing and contrasting examples in determiners in English and Vietnamese from grammar books, the internet, and as well as from the novel “The Great Gatsby” in order to find the most similarities and REFERENCES Foreign Authors Alexander, L G (1975) English Grammar Structure Longman Group Limited, London and New York Alexander, L G (1988) Longman English Grammar Longman Group U.k Limited, London and New York Angela Downing English Grammar: A University Course Routledge, 2006) Abney, S P 1987 The English noun phrase in its sentential aspect Ph D thesis, MIT, Cambridge MA Brinton, Laurel J & Donna M Brinton 2010 The linguistic structure of Modern English, 2nd edn Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing Company Bernstein, J B 2008 Reformulating the determiner phrase analysis Language and Linguistics Compass, 2: 1246–1270 Cobuild, C (1990) English Grammar William Colins Son & Co Limited, New Delhi The Collins English Dictionary (2015) Collins; Seventh edition Dictionary of Contemporary English for Advanced Learners (2010) England: Pearson Education limited 10 Huddleston, Rodney 1984 Introduction to the grammar of English Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 11 Hudson, R 2004 Are determiners heads?
