Chapter I
                                 INTRODUCTION


1.1 Rationale
        Nowadays, English is considered as one of the most popular language for
everyone all over the world. There are many problems in learning English as
listening, speaking, reading, writing, Grammar, lexicology, etc. Grammar plays a
very important role in English, it is not easy for English learners to study.
Moreover, learners are affected by their mother tongue during the process of
studying that cause much confusion to them. However, it is not so difficult that
English learners can not study because English grammar is also systematic.
          In grammar, Adjective is one of essential parts of speech to form a sentence.
 Adjective is frequently used in daily life such as describing things, objects,… or
 expressing feeling, emotion, etc. As well known, English adjectives are diversified
 in many forms, meanings as well as usages. It takes learners quite a long time to
 understand grammar deeply, especially adjectives. It therefore seems that the
 semantic and syntactic function of adjectives are still too difficult for students.
            So the writer researches the semantic and syntactic function of English
adjectives with the hope that the writer’s graduation paper will contribute a small
part on enriching the source of materials, and it hopes that students be able to
further understand about semantic and syntactic function of English adjectives as
well as partly avoid making errors when studying these matters. In the writer’s point
of view in order to use English effectively, studying grammar is essential
requirement because English Grammar is one of the most difficult subject. It is said
that study of English grammar could improve the ability of rest skills like listening,
speaking, reading, writing, … Mastering English grammar helps us to use the
language correctly and effectively. That is why the writer chooses studying English
grammar for the graduation paper, particularly adjectives in English. The writer

decided to do a study focusing on semantic and syntactic functions of English
adjective, apart from that making a contrastive analysis with their Vietnamese
equivalents. The writer hopes that this thesis will be helpful for the learners in their
studying and after reading the graduation paper, many students will be interested in
searching and developing this topic in order that the matter of semantic and
syntactic function of English adjectives will be clearer and more well-provided than
those presented in the graduation paper.


1.2 Aims of the study

        - Making a general view on definition of adjectives in general and focusing
on discussing matters in relation to semantic and syntactic functions of English
adjectives in particular.
        - Classifying ten kinds of English adjectives in terms of usage.
        - Making a contrastive analysis between English adjectives and their
Vietnamese equivalents.


1.3 Scope of the study
        English grammar is a large field that can not be mentioned all, therefore, the
writer only mentioned to some small problems of English grammar, that is English
adjectives.
          In the frame of the study, this graduation paper deals with the semantic and
syntactic functions of English adjectives, especially the classification of adjective
semantic features in terms of usage as well as presents a contrastive analysis
between English adjectives with their Vietnamese equivalents.
