This paper considers the theories of Lock [7], Halliday
[4], Di
ệp Quang Ban and Hoàng Văn Thung [1] as a base
on which wishing verbs are investigated.
3. Scope of the Paper
There is a variety of wishing verbs to express one’s
desires. However, the paper does not focus on all wishing
verbs but on commonly used verbs like
“want, wish,
desire, expect, hope, long” in English and
“hy v
ọng,
mong, mu
ốn, ước, thèm, khao khát” in Vietnamese.
These verbs have a wide occurrence
in various types of
contexts both in English and Vietnamese. They are
explored in English and Vietnamese texts and
conversations from literary works.
