Secondly, I am greatly indebted to my lecturers in the faculty of post- graduate studies for their useful lectures and contribution to my study. Last but not least, I would like to acknowledge the considerate support and indispensable assistance of my family, my friends and my colleagues while the work was being done. One more thing I would like to say is that in spite of all the efforts I have made and the advice and assistance I have received, I am sure my minor thesis is far from perfect. Therefore, it is my responsibility for any inadequacies and shortcomings that arise in my minor thesis. Hanoi, December 2016 Dang Thao Hien ii LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ABSTRACT This study aimed at pointing out the similarities and differences in the types of pun used in English and Vietnamese advertisements in men‘s magazines, which is achieved by identifying the common types of pun used in advertisements and the devices used in creating these types of pun. The methods applied are quantitative, qualitative and contrastive. The data analysis shows that phonological pun resulting from rhyme or alliteration is most commonly used in both English and Vietnamese advertisements. Besides, the use of polysemy and fixed expressions in pun creation is found in English and Vietnamese advertisements as well. The most significant difference is that lexical pun realized in English advertisements makes use of homonym and homophone in its creation whereas this use is not found in Vietnamese advertisements. On the other hand, Vietnamese advertisements apply antonym and synonym in creating lexical pun while English advertisements do not. iii LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com TABLE OF CONTENTS i Declaration . ii ii iii iii Abstract . iv iv Table of contents .

Rationale Pun is a common figure of speech and an inseparable part of many languages. Alexieva (1997: 139) offers an emphasis when defining pun as ―a literary form whereby a portrayal of a word or a phrase has several meanings, all of which apply‖. Cuddon (1976: 642) defines it as ‗a punning play on words which uses similar or identical phonemes for its effect‘. It is based on specific properties of language such as similarity of sounds of words or the number of their different meanings. Overtime, pun has become a popular tool of advertisement. It is a device often employed in advertising. Using puns in advertisement seem like a good way to advertise to a large number of audience and buyer. As advertisers are under increasing pressure to make their products stand out so as to attract the attention of potential buyers, through the use of puns, advertisers manipulate language so as to enable a reader of a particular ad to linger longer over it and ultimately buy the product. Using puns appropriately in advertisements can enhance advertisements‘ charming, bring about consumers‘ imagination and consolidate their memories. Thus, using puns in advertisement is becoming more and more popular. Aims of the study This study aimed at pointing out the similarities and differences in the types of pun used in English and Vietnamese advertisements in men‘s magazines. That aim is achieved by identifying the common types of pun used in advertisements and the devices used in creating these types of pun. Scope of the study The advertisements used for data analysis are taken from English and Vietnamese editions of some well-known men‘s magazines, such as: Men‘s 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Health, GQ, Men‘s Journal in English and Men & life, Dan ong and The thao, Van hoa & Dan ong in Vietnamese. Significance of the study The study, theoretically focuses on finding similarities and differences in the use of pun in advertisements which help bring out some useful findings and give implication for some more studies in the future. Besides, some devices used in creating types of pun used in advertisements published in men‘s magazines are identified. In practice, results of the study are meaningful in providing insights for those who are interested in puns in general and puns in advertisement in particular. What types of pun are commonly used in English and Vietnamese advertisements in men‘s magazines? 2. What are the similarities and differences in the linguistic devices used in creating these types of pun in English and Vietnamese advertisements in men‘s magazines? 5. Research methods: To achieve the aims of the study, quantitative, qualitative and contrastive approach are used. In using quantitative method, the frequencies of types of pun and devices used in creating these types in English and Vietnamese advertisements are shown. In using qualitative method, the author categorizes the advertisements into types of pun and identifies the devices used in creating these types. Finally, a contrastive analysis is carried out in order to find out the similarities and differences in the types of pun used in English and Vietnamese advertisements in men‘s magazines. 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail. Design of the study: The study consists of 3 main parts: Part A: “Introduction” provides information about rationale, aims, scope, significance, research methodology and design of the study. Part B: Development contains 3 chapters. Chapter 1, named ―Literature review‖ is an overview on previous researches of the same subjects and a supply of a theoretical background relating to puns and the use of pun in advertising. Some basic concepts will be discussed in this part such as: puns in general, lexical pun, phonological pun, and syntactic pun. Chapter 2 ―Research methodology‖ consists the research questions, the approach of conducting the research, methods of collecting data and procedure of analyzing data as well. Chapter 3 is ― Data analysis and discussion”, in which I present my analysis of advertisements containing puns. Part C is the ―Conclusion” of the thesis. In it, the results I have achieved from my discussion and analysis will be discussed. Also, it concludes suggestions on subjects that could be interesting to see as topics in a future study. 3 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com PART B: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER I: LITERATURE REVIEW In this chapter, the previous studies will be reviewed to offer a panorama of what is going to be investigated. After that, some conceptions or notions are given to introduce the reader the background for understanding the remainder of the theoretical model, including: definition of advertising and advertising language, definition of pun, pun in advertising, classification of English and Vietnamese pun. Review of previous studies The studies on Vietnamese humour has for long been neglected by researchers. When searching for literature for this thesis, I had troubles in finding literature on puns, especially on puns in advertisements. There have been a few studies on the pun in Vietnamese advertising which can be found in Duong Quoc Cuong (2012), Le Ba Mien (2012), Ngo Thi Khai Nguyen (2014).
