Authors: Nguyen, Hoa (2017) - This study focuses on how verbal humor can discursively construct identities, grounded in the assumption of social constructionism that identity is not given, but is constructed in social practice (Foucault, 1984), or discourse practices (Fairclough, 2001). I exploit a mix of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) methods and Gricean pragmatics in the analysis of implicature-generated humor occurring in a speech delivered in the political context of a presidential election. The findings show that verbal humor (created through the use of language in contexts of situation) is not just for “fun” or “humor”, but also for performing a variety of pragmatic functions such as developing social rel...

Authors: Nguyen, Hoa (2019) - This paper is aimed at reexamining intercultural communication from an identity
social constructionist perspective and offering a linguistically-based research framework. The social constructionist approach holds that knowledge and reality are constructed through discourse, interactions and/or social interchange. This study maintains that language in action as communication in general serves dual purposes. It does not only build the social world, but also constructs identity - a critical issue in our global community recognized by many scholars (as most recently as Jandt, 2016; Fukuyama, 2018). Identity, though, is not just a social construct, but can operate as part of the purpose o...

Authors: Nguyen, Hoa; Tran, Thi Huong (2016) - This paper is a meta-analysis of the spread of Korean culture, often known as “Hallyu” or “the Korean Wave”, which is gaining the attention of many scholars and the public at large. It is catching on in many parts of the world, including Vietnam, and to such an extent that it is now claimed that it is being globalized and globalizing at the same time.

In particular, it deals with the following relevant questions: what is the current status of Korean Culture in Vietnam? Whether it has had any impact on the host culture? and how will Korean Culture likely...

Authors: Nguyễn, Thị Hương; Advisor: Nguyen, Hoa (2022) - Metaphor is considered a fertile land for researchers. Traditionally, it is viewed as a figure of speech and a rhetorical device. From a perspective of cognitive linguistics, it
refers to a conceptual mechanism that allows us to understand one conceptual domain in terms of another (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). Critical metaphor analysis (CMA) and
van Dijk’s ideological square frame are adopted by this study to investigate how metaphors of US-China relations are created and for what ideological purposes they
serve. Data selected consist of 20 articles from the American newspaper of Washington Post published in the 2017-2020 time frame. Findings identify the use of
10 metaphors with the...
