Nguyen Ha Vy, Vuong Thi Hai Yen — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research examines the intricate use of figures of speech in William Wordsworth's celebrated poem "Daffodils," alternatively titled "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." The study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of how various rhetorical devices enhance both the aesthetic quality and emotional depth of the poem. Through descriptive analytical methods, this paper investigates Wordsworth's sophisticated employment of figurative language in creating vivid imagery and fostering profound emotional connections with readers. The findings reveal that Wordsworth demonstrates exceptional mastery in interweaving multiple figures of speech, particularly personification, simile, and metaphor, to construct a multi-layered poetic experience. These devices work in concert to transform a simple encounter with daffodils into a profound meditation on nature's impact on the human psyche. The research illuminates how Wordsworth's strategic deployment of these literary devices not only captures the physical beauty of the natural world but also conveys complex emotional states and philosophical insights. Furthermore, this study demonstrates how these carefully chosen figures of speech contribute to the poem's enduring appeal and its ability to resonate with readers across generations. Through close textual analysis, this research enhances our understanding of how Wordsworth's masterful command of figurative language elevates a straightforward nature observation into a timeless piece of Romantic poetry.

ROBUST STABILIZATION OF CONFORMABLE FRACTIONAL-ORDER ONE-SIDED LIPSCHITZ NONLINEAR SYSTEMS VIA OBSERVER-BASED CONTROL

Vu Thi Thu Loan — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This paper addresses the problem of robust stabilization for conformable fractionalorder nonlinear systems with one-sided Lipschitz conditions using observer-based control. Conformable fractional calculus is appropriate for a variety of real-world applications since it provides a more adaptable mathematical framework for explaining the dynamics of systems that display both integer and fractional-order behaviors. The key feature of this work is the use of the one-sided Lipschitz property, which relaxes the global Lipschitz condition, allowing for more general nonlinearities. By constructing an appropriate state observer, we estimate unmeasured states and develop a control law that guarantees asymptotic stabilization. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the observer and the controller are derived based on linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.

A CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS ON PHONOLOGICAL FEATURES OF ENGLISH AND VIETNAMESE CONSONANT SYSTEMS.

Pham Thi Huyen Trang, Vuong Thi Hai Yen — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research presents a comprehensive contrastive analysis of the phonological features characterizing the consonant systems of English and Vietnamese. Through systematic examination, the study addresses significant gaps in current phonological research, particularly focusing on the distinctive characteristics of consonants in both languages within connected speech patterns. The investigation employs a detailed analytical framework to examine three primary aspects: phoneme classification, articulatory mechanisms, and broader phonological processes that govern consonant behavior in both languages. The research methodology incorporates both qualitative and quantitative approaches to analyze the structural differences and similarities between these two phonological systems. The findings reveal substantial contrasts, notably in the English language's more extensive inventory of consonant phonemes, including a rich array of fricatives, affricates, and complex consonant clusters that are not present in Vietnamese. Furthermore, the study illuminates crucial differences in phonotactic constraints and assimilation patterns between the two languages. These findings contribute significantly to our theoretical understanding of cross-linguistic phonological features and offer valuable insights for language teaching, speech therapy, and comparative linguistics. The research also provides a foundation for future studies in phonological typology and second language acquisition, particularly in addressing pronunciation challenges faced by learners of either language.

APPLYING THE SHADOWING TECHNIQUE TO ENHANCE SPEAKING PROFICIENCY AMONG ENGLISH MAJORS: OBSTACLES AND REMEDIES

Nguyen Thi Anh Nguyet, Nguyen Phuong Anh — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research examines the efficacy of the shadowing strategy in enhancing speaking proficiency among third-year English majors at Hanoi Metropolitan University. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to emphasize students' confidence, fluency, and pronunciation. Results indicate that although the majority of participants exhibited enhancements in fluency and pronunciation, difficulties remain. Primary challenges encompass restricted access to suitable resources, cognitive stress, and the struggle to keep a regular practice regimen. Furthermore, students underscored the necessity of consistent feedback to evaluate progress and target certain areas for enhancement. The difficulty of aligning with the natural tempo of native speakers frequently resulted in dissatisfaction and diminished motivation. In light of these findings, we advocate for organized, supervised shadowing sessions, the supply of varied, interest-aligned resources, and a comprehensive feedback mechanism. Customizing shadowing resources for varying competence levels and including other activities, such as role-playing, may further augment language acquisition. This study highlights the significance of organized support in optimizing the effectiveness of shadowing for enhancing speaking proficiency.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SPEECH ACT OF REFUSALS OF OFFERS BY NATIVE SPEAKERS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH AND VIETNAMESE PEOPLE

Nguyen Thanh Ly, Trinh Phan Thi Phong Lan — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Refusal speech acts are prevalent across all languages. Similar to other speech acts, declining of an offer is affected by linguistic and cultural factors. The formulations for expressing declination vary between languages and civilizations due to distinct linguistic features and cognitive patterns linked to each society. These result in misinterpretations and disputes in intercultural communication. The paper examines factors influencing the strategies by which Americans and Vietnamese decline offers. All data have been collected and categorized from over eighty Vietnamese and American literary works and films in two languages. By identifying the factors that affect the rejection of offers, the authors aim to furnish insights regarding the determinants influencing how individuals decline offers, thereby contributing to the enhancement of English language instruction in Vietnam and the teaching of Vietnamese to foreigners.
