| Tóm tắt: | This study focuses on the metaphoric meanings of words denoting names
of human body parts in English and Vietnamese. It is investigated with the hope
of finding out the similarities and differences between the metaphoric meanings of
words denoting names of human body parts “head, hand/arm, leg/foot, eye” in
English and “đầu, tay, chân, mắt” in Vietnamese and suggesting practical
implications to the learning and teaching English as a foreign language in
Vietnam. Data used for analysis in this study were mainly collected through
dictionaries and the Internet. To carry out this research, the writer used
descriptive, comparative and contrastive methods. The result of the study
illustrates the fact that there exist both similarities and differences in the
metaphoric meanings of the words denoting names of human body parts in two
languages. This reflects the way English and Vietnamese people view the world
and the way they use language. Hopefully, this study will help students of English
widen their understanding of the metaphoric meanings of words and get better
results in reading comprehension as well as in everyday language |
