differences between the connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese It helps learners learn English well and use them in daily communication, especially, in using connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese This research used qualitative and quantitative approaches The author uses quantitative method for collecting the data of flower names and their connotations Qualitative method is used to describe connotations of flower words and phrases In addition, the author also uses contrastive and comparative analysis so as to make an investigation into the similarities and differences between connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese in terms of cultural cognition The data is collected mainly from the Internet and flower connotations in the book “The Complete Language of Flowers: A Definitive and Illustrated History” The author focus on popular flowers collected on special occasions including 45 flowers in English and 25 flowers in Vietnamese The data were analyzed based on Nguyen Hoa (2004)’s framework of connotations and explained based on Tran Ngoc Them (1999)’s and Farzad Sharifian (2007)’s theories on culture The results of the research show that both the English and the Vietnamese use connotations of flower words and phrases on important occasions However, due to cultural differences, the English tend to use the connotations acknowledged based on the tales, myths and legends more frequently than the Vietnamese, who mainly use the connotations based on metaphor and metonymy of color meanings formed according to Yin and yang theory, or Feng Shui This study also suggests some implications for better using connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese Keywords: connotations vi

overall information about the topic which has been chosen to investigate by the author First, it describes a general background of the topic, the reason as well as the necessity of the study Then, the aims and objectives of the study are also clearly presented, and they are followed by three research questions, which will be answered in chapter After that, this chapter provides a brief explanation of the method utilized during the research process, the scope, and the significance of the topic investigation Finally, it indicates the overall plan of the thesis and the way how this paper is structured 1.1 Rationale Language is used to show not only the way each people perceives the world around but also the way each people reacts towards that world Each language also conveys a particular aspect of its culture which prevents people from communicating with each other effectively and clearly Besides, nowadays in the stage of integration, the more society develops, the more people have great demands in communication Moreover, it is undeniable that acquiring a good command of English is beneficial to one’s career and self-development In the course of communication, we use language which is symbolic to represent ideas, objects, and feelings We can interpret any given statement in more than one way Sometimes the difference is simply literal versus figurative interpretation Most of the words not simply express a thought, but also express feelings beyond the word’s literal meaning The connotations of words can also change drastically from one culture to the next and could bring about difficulties to English and Vietnamese learners Especially, various folk cultures and traditions assign symbolic meanings to flowers and they are usually used in connotations Theoretically, connotations are very important in communication because connotations set the tone when writing and speaking, and clarify one’s intentions they can elicit certain emotions or reactions or help to provide distinct impressions of things Conversely, choosing words with the wrong connotation can produce an undesired reaction or emotion and misrepresent one’s intentions Particularly, connotations are dealt with in some books such as Beatriz (2013), Kenny (2008), and Gibbs (1973) It is also possible to find some publications dealing with specific types of connotations such as Said Faiq (2018) In Vietnamese, the definition and types of connotations are dealt with every semantic book such as Nguyen Hoa (2004), Do Huu Chau (2005) Practically, the author hopes to contribute a small part in studying and teaching connotations in English and Vietnamese, especially, connotations of flower words and phrases In the study, connotations of flower words and phrases are described in popular contexts and situations The author hopes that with the thesis, we can help Vietnamese learners study connotations of flower words and phrases more easily There have been so far some studies and investigations into idioms concerning animals, plants, colors, or the connotation of the Vietnamese zodiac animals in English and Vietnamese idioms and proverbs Nevertheless, hardly any study of connotations of flower words and phrases have been carried out These are the reasons why the author would like to carry out this thesis titled “Connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese” 1.2 Aims and objectives of the study This paper is aimed to help learners of English understand and use connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese effectively This paper is designed to aim at the following objectives:  To identify connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese  To make a comparison between connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese  To give some implications for learners using connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese 1.3 Research questions In order to achieve the aims and objectives of the study, the research questions below will be addressed: - What is the connotation of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese? - What are similarities and differences between connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese? - What implications are drawn for effectively learning connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese? cultural factors such as religion Some of the flowers have connotations created by metaphor and metonymy This shows that the cognitions of Vietnamese people tend to be more emotional Vietnamese people love to give flowers to celebrate success and this usually happens on most holidays of the year The connotations of the flowers on these occasions are often similar Connotations of flowers are often not shown on flower names but they usually appear on the way using it especially, in old chants, folk songs proverbs, or idioms According to the author’s view, the similarities and differences can be traced from cognitive and cultural views of flower connotations The similarities may result from: (1) similar features and characteristics of connotations, (2) similarities in social activities, feelings, attitudes, and ways of interactions towards animals between the two peoples, (3) interactions between languages, and (4) cultural integration The differences can be caused by religion, history, geographical environment, customs, and so on The result of the study may be beneficial to learners and teachers of both languages The contrastive analysis will offer them a clearer insight into the use of connotations of flowers This thesis may help teachers with a deeper knowledge of the contrastive analysis between English and Vietnamese in terms of connotations of flowers The study provides teachers with the additional reference source that may help use connotations of flowers and phrases in idioms and proverbs As for students, the thesis may be used as a material or reference book in their study It may help them to use connotations relating to flowers correctly in everyday situations 4.3 Limitation of the research The paper is carried out based on the limited data source due to the limit of time and difficulty in approaching sources and references for the study Moreover, with limited ability and inexperience in conducting research, some weaknesses and limitations are inevitable I would be very grateful to those that take interest in this study with comments, advice, and adjustment Sincere, useful ideas are very valuable to make this paper more fulfilled, clearer, and more perfect 80 4.4 Suggestions for further research This study has been carried out to analyze the similarities and differences of connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese idioms, but because of limited time and ability, the author didn’t cover all aspects of flower idioms and proverbs but connotations of flower words and phrases with the limited data sources There are still some fields in this topic that need to be explored So, I would like to suggest some further researches on the following aspects: Pragmatic analysis of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese Flower idioms in literary works or newspapers 4.4.1 Implication for learning connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese As mentioned, the findings of this thesis are the connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese Therefore through the research, the learner can achieve the proper use of the connotations of flower words and phrases in English and Vietnamese Flowers appeared around us in everyday life, especially on important occasions and each flower has its connotations So learners and teachers must accumulate as much cultural background knowledge as possible No matter when we learn connotations of flowers, we must bear in mind that we are not only to learn connotations of flower words and phrases but also to learn their correspondent cultures In general, it is indispensable for us to have cultural background knowledge to help us have a better understanding of connotations of flower words and phrases Learning connotations of flowers makes it possible for learners to convey the messages they want to send to recipients on special occasions In addition, learning implicit meanings also helps learners use connotations of flowers correctly in the process of translating and cultural exchange with foreigners When studying English in the English centers, learners need to approach a vocabulary learning method that is associated with vivid pictures and deep meanings to easily remember and imagine Learning about connotations of flower words and phrases makes the lesson more lively and interest learners because the ability to guess correctly flower connotations is not easy Besides the legends, myths, stories, and fairytales associated connotations of flowers will help students know more about culture and understand correctly how they are used in everyday life 81 REFERENCES English references: Books: Abrams, M.H (2011) A Glossary of Literary Terms Cengage Learning, Boston, 10nd
