  • The current study aims at investigating the manifestation and the representation of the individualist and collectivist values in American and Vietnamese advertisements under a non-essentialist view of culture through analyzing themes, creative tactics, and multimodal devices. To fulfil the aims of the study, multidimensional frameworks deriving from the individualism-collectivism cross-cultural theory and empirical evidence about their manifestation in cross-cultural psychology and advertising and a framework of multimodal devices representing these values are chosen for data analysis.

  • The transference from spatial to non-spatial meanings of “Over, Above, Under, Below” Four prepositions over, above, under, below, constituting the vertical axis and two synonymous pairs in the English language, are exploited to denote both spatial and non-spatial meanings. This so-called meaning transference phenomenon is rather complex and there exist many research trends aiming at uncovering the human cognitive processes throughout such mental representations in which over is a case (Roussel, 2013).

  • The thesis aimed to explore the intercultural competence (IC) performed by English – Vietnamese simultaneous interpreters (SIrs) via intercultural communicative (ICC) transfers during their real – life work sessions. A review of different competence models of interpreters showed that IC is a required component in making up a professional interpreter. The list of intercultural transfers recommended by Quang (2014) was used as the analytical framework for this thesis. Accordingly, there are absolute linguistic transfer (coded as S1), relative linguistic transfer (S2), communicative transfer (S3), and intercultural transfer (S4). In terms of methodology, the research combined qualitativ...
