Various communicative approaches have been applied with the hope to teach learners to use English as the native speakers. However, the process of learning English involves not only practicing the four skills needed in communication as speaking, listening, reading and writing but also mastering other aspects such as grammar structures, sounds and vocabulary. And enriching one’s vocabulary of a language is very important as Wilkins (1972:111) comments: "Without grammar, very little can be conveyed; without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed." Besides, possessing a rich source of vocabulary in English will enable learners to speak and to write concisely. Unfortunately, dealing with new English words is one of the most difficulties for any language learners as words in English are numerous and continuously developing together with the changes of the society. New English words are formed in various ways such as borrowing, affixation, conversion, composition, shortening, etc. Among which, compounding or composition is a rich source of English neologisms. According to an analysis of the Longman Register of new words Vol. 1, it accounts for 39.8 % of new words (Ayto, in Anderman 1996:65) while a similar analysis of the Macquarie Dictionary of new words shows that it can account for 54. Given, therefore, that compounding is highly productive process of word formation. Moreover, compounding is an effective tool to express ideas concisely. However, compound words have specific and complicated features that many learners of English find it not easy to use. Furthermore, there is a fact that nominal compounds appear most in our daily life, especially in professional texts as in business, medicine, science and technology as well as other areas of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Thus, students of ESP have a greater difficulty when coping with them. Because of its importance and complication, study on compound nouns interests so many linguists and researchers. There have been a number of studies on compound nouns conducted by many researchers. In our university some have been carried out at under- LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com [2] graduate level but none of the studies have done at post-graduate level. None of them have given the suggestions for dealing with compound nouns in a professional text, either. For those reasons, as a learner as well as a teacher of English, I would like to do a research on this matter with the hope that I would understand properly the features of English compound nouns and find out an appropriate way to teach them to my students of ESP. Aims and objectives of the study The major aims of this study are: - To make a comparison of compound nouns in English and Vietnamese. To achieve this aim, the study will examine the characteristics of compound nouns in terms of syntactic and semantic features as well as their classifications and types in English and Vietnamese. From these characteristics, the author will compare English compound nouns and the Vietnamese equivalents. - To give the suggestions for teaching vocabulary in ESP textbooks in general and the textbook “English for the hotel and tourist industry” in particular. The study will examine the main types of compound nouns used in the textbook, the descriptions of students in term of English level, learning conditions and how they understand and use compound nouns in this textbook as well as some common errors they often make. Then the suggestions for teaching and learning English compound nouns will be given based on the findings. Thus, the following research questions are raised for guided research. What are the characteristics of English and Vietnamese compound nouns? 2. What are the differences and similarities of compound nouns in English and Vietnamese in term of their syntactic, semantic features and their classifications? 3. What are the suggestions for teaching and learning vocabulary in the textbook “English for the hotel and tourist industry”? 1. Scope of the study LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com [3] Compounding is a complicated subject matter that received a lot of linguists’ attentions. They have proposed a number of researches on various interesting aspects, mostly on semantic interpretation of nominal compounds. Within a minor thesis, I only focus on the similarities and differences between compound nouns in English and Vietnamese in terms of semantic, syntactic features and their classifications which provide teachers of English an adequate understanding on the issue so that they will have an appropriate teaching method to compound nouns. Methods of the study This study uses the combination of some different methods: The strategic method chosen is the descriptive which seeks to describe and explain the phenomenon. Contrastive Analysis is also used in this research. Together with these methods, researcher also uses the quantitative procedures that based on facts and features to examine common compound nouns used in the ESP textbook and the reality of teaching and learning compound nouns in her university. Data is collected by conducting a test on students’ using and understanding of compound nouns. Supporting techniques such as reference to the publication, consultation with the supervisor, discussion with colleagues, and personal observations are also of significant contribution to the study. Design of the study The study is divided into three main parts: Part 1 entitled “Introduction”, in which the rationale, aims, scope of the study, methods and design of the study are all introduced. Part 2 is the “Development”. This part is the focus of the study which is divided into 4 chapters as following: Chapter 1: “Theoretical background” provides some important concepts on lexicology relevant to the subject matter which set the theoretical background for the study such as: words and words structures, word formation processes. LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com [4] Chapter 2: “The investigation into English compound nouns” focuses on all the characteristics of English compound nouns. Chapter 3: “Vietnamese compound nouns in a contrastive analysis with English equivalents” investigates the Vietnamese compound nouns and points out the similarities and differences between English and Vietnamese compound nouns. Chapter 4 entitled “Implications for teaching and learning vocabulary in the textbook “English for the hotel and tourist industry” consists of following sections: - An analysis on the common types of compound nouns in the textbook. - The research - Pedagogical implications for teaching vocabulary in the textbook: “English for the hotel and tourist industry”. Part 3 is the conclusion. This part briefly presents review of the major findings, conclusions remarked and suggestions for further study. LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail. THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE ON ENGLISH WORDS AND WORD FORMATION PROCESSES 1. Notion of words and word structures Word is a fundamental unit of language. The term “word” seems to be a simple concept but in fact it is very difficult to define. For decades, many linguists have attempted to propose different definitions of word in different approaches. Some considered it on the semantic point of view; others looked at it from the morphology or phonology sides. However, none of the definitions appear to be totally satisfied in all aspects. Famous scholars as Palmer (1976), Arnold (1986), Bauer (1983), Plag (2003) etc. have discussed thoroughly about this issue. In this section, I would like to mention some of them. When talking about the notion of word, most of us may think of the word as a unit in the writing system, namely, orthographic word, then we may say that a word is an uninterrupted string of letters which is marked by blank spaces or punctuation. Hence, it is clear that the sentence “English is an interesting language” consists of five words. However, in some cases, it is impossible to apply this rule to count the number of words in a sentence. For example, it is not easy to decide how many words there are in the sentence “Benjamin’s girlfriend lives in a high-rise apartment building” (Plag, 2003). ‘Benjamin’s may be one or two words. It depends on our consideration for apostrophes to be a punctuation mark or not. Besides, girlfriend can be attested with spellings as <girlfriend> or <girl friend>. Then it can be one word or two depending on the writer. The same cases are happened in ‘high-rise’ and ‘apartment building’. Thus, such cases are quite annoying and this definition is not entirely reliable. Equally, in terms of sound structure (i. phonologically), a word is said to be a unit of speech surrounded by pause. However, in natural speech, people sometimes do not make pause before or after each word. Let’s think about assimilation and linking rules in English, for example. And speakers can make pauses not only between words but also LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com [6] between syllables for emphasis. Besides, many functional words such as the, a, to, of might not be sometimes spoken in natural speech. Referring to semantic point of view, a word is one that expresses a unified semantic concept.
