5.4.2. Suggestions for further studies
It is true that the study has been merely concerned with syntactic and semantic features of “adjective phrases” basically and briefly. There are still more aspects that should be also taken into consideration. As a result, the author hopes that his suggestions below will be highly useful for other researchers.
1) “Syntactic and semantic features of adjective phrases’ classification in English and in Vietnamese"
52
2) “Syntactic and semantic features of adjective phrases denoting qualification in English and in Vietnamese"
3) “The implications concerning the teaching and learning of adjective phrases in English for Vietnamese learners”
