Tóm tắt
The concept of Topic-Comment sentence and the topic-comment structures have been a concern of linguistists in Vietnam and in the world. According to Cao Xuan Hao (1991), Vietnamese people often express ideas in the way that they start to mention a topic and then say something about that topic or within the range of that topic. However, the structure has been proved to be a hindrance to the first-year English majors at the University of Foreign Languages Studies, the University of Danang when transfered into the English language. The paper investigates some commonly-used topic-comment structures in Vietnamese and their negative transfers to English by the first-year English majors at the University of Foreign Languages Studies, the University of Danang. On the basis of data analysis from a survey, the paper provides some suggestions to better English learners’ translation of the structures.
