Contrastive Analysis
| Conclusion
In conclusion, the minimum requirement of a noun phrase both in English and Vietnamese is a head noun. If we want to add more color to a noun phrase, we can make use of pre-modification and post-modification. A contrastive analysis view of the structure of noun phrases in English and Vietnamese gives us an insight into the similarities and differences between the two equivalent linguistic units in the two languages. It also helps us to draw out some implications for language teaching and language learning. I hope that this paper in some way can be useful for ESL and EFL teachers and students. What I want to suggest more is that new researches focus on the function of noun phrases because a thorough understanding of the function of noun phrases can give learners more confidence in their language competence.
