Nguyen Thi Huong ii ABSTRACT The operation of the economy is a dispensable domain of social structure in which the stock market is considered as a mirror of economic development. In the context of globalization, most countries in the world have vibrantly active stock markets, collaboration and mutual investment as well. In Vietnam, there is a growing concern placed on market participants to grasp and sharpen their comprehension of specific concepts about stock terms, thereby work and operate efficaciously and accurately in this area. This master thesis examined deeply the data of stock terminology in English and Vietnamese through the financial news collected within a certain period of time.
The data for investigating is stock terms extracted through numerous financial news of online newspapers within nearly 2 months from September - November, 2023. The purpose is unraveling the analogies and discrepancies among English and Vietnamese stock terminology in terms of structural and semantic features. After thorough scrutiny, it has made notable conclusions about similarities and differences in terms of structural and semantic features of the subjects in both languages; then proposed specific conclusions and suggestions. Key words: stock, terminologies, structural, semantic, financial news iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I wish to express my deep gratitude to everyone who gave me enthusiastic supports so that I could have my thesis successfully completed.
