Vietnamese learners of English are likely to get confused when they confront English slang- a linguistic modality confined to spoken language. They find it difficult to explain and to grasp slang as a unitary phenomenon. One difficulty that users of English face when dealing with slang that contains words denoting animals is to understand its meanings because a slang in general, as well as a slang containing words denoting animals in particular is a word or a sequence of words whose meaning can not be predicted from the meanings of the words themselves. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to give users of English different semantic fields when dealing with slang that contains words denoting animals. Collected from many different sources, 359 slang words and expressions containing words denoting animals are categorized and arranged into each semantic field logically.
