“…Ultimately, it concludes that the choice of critical strategy is mainly influenced by social and cultural factors. Hoa (2007) investigates the use of the speech act of criticism among Vietnamese and Americans using a questionnaire with a focus on three aspects of criticism: the topics of critics, the factors affecting criticism, and the frequency of criticism. This study offers a solid comparison between the two groups, revealing the varying rankings that Vietnamese and Americans assigned to the factors driving their critical strategies.…”

This study assesses the strategies with which judges on the “Arab Idol” and “American Idol” shows offer criticism to contestants with a particular focus on the differences between male and female judges. To ensure a comprehensive behavioral examination, this study looks at 60 comments stemming from the audition phase of each program, resulting in a total of 120 comments. This study employs Nguyen’s (2005) coding scheme of criticism as the foundation of its analysis. The results show that female judges on both the Arab and American shows use more indirect strategies in their criticisms while male judges prefer direct strategies. Additionally, the results indicate that the direct strategies typically entail the ‘negative evaluation and identification of a problem,’ while the indirect strategies often provide ‘advice about change and suggestions for change.’

“…These contexts include the relationship between teachers and junior high school students (Peng, 2020), native speakers and foreign language learners at universities, doctoral students and supervisors (Li & Seale, 2007), and Facebook and novels (Nofrita, 2016). These studies have examined several target languages, including English (Nofrita, 2016), Arabic (Darweesh, 2011), Indonesian (Halawa et al, 2019), Persian (Hosseinizadeh, 2019), Iranian (Farnia & Sattar, 2015), Vietnamese (Nguyen, 2005;Hoa, 2007), English (New Zealand) (Nguyen, 2013), Chinese (Cao, 2005), and Javanese (Gunawan, 1996). In terms of politeness, past studies have examined politeness in two types of speech acts, namely prohibition and criticism, in the Indonesian context (Halawa et al, 2019).…”

Criticism tends to be a face-threatening speech act that can endanger social relationships if not managed using appropriate strategies, especially in the intercultural context. This study aims to compare and contrast the politeness of criticism speech acts used in Japanese and Minangkabau languages as depicted in film series. The data on criticism speech acts in this study were collected from eleven Japanese film series with a total duration of 538 minutes and eight Minangkabau films with a total duration of 535 minutes. The collected data were formed into a set of data cards, classified based on the criticism speech acts strategies by Nguyen (2005), and analyzed based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory. The data classification in Japanese and Minangkabau was validated through the expert judgment process. The findings indicated that the Japanese and Minangkabau languages employed the same set of criticism speech act strategies but have different tendencies. In Japanese, speakers tend to use indirect strategies as their main criticism speech act strategy by ‘asking/presupposing,’ ‘correction,’ and ‘advice for change.’ Meanwhile, in Minangkabau, speakers tend to use direct strategies by using ‘negative evaluation,’ ‘expression of contradiction,’ and ‘disagreement’ strategies. Regarding the politeness strategy, off-record politeness strategies are more dominantly used among Japanese speakers. In contrast, Minangkabau speakers use bald on-record politeness strategies in criticism speech acts, reflecting their communication culture. The findings of this study provide a deeper understanding of criticism speech act and politeness strategies. The study is expected to contribute to the area of research on intercultural communication and Sociolinguistics.

The Conceptualization of Life in English and Vietnamese Propaganda Slogans

This paper sets out to examine the conceptualization of life, one of the most complicated concepts that require a number of domains to get mapped, in 600 English and Vietnamse propaganda slogans addressing social policies and purposeful activities in life, mostly collected from street banners and the Internet. The research is based on the principles of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 2003) and Metaphor Identification Procedure (Pragglejaz group, 2007; Steen, 1999, 2009). The study aims at finding the conceptual preferences that English-speaking people and Vietnamese people have for life and trying to justify the similarities and differences in the way life is conceptualized in the two languages from social and cultural perspectives. The results suggest that metaphors of life are frequently used in both English and Vietnamese slogans on an almost equal basis. Specifically, life is conceptualized as A LIVING ORGANISM, AN OBJECT, PATH-SCHEMA, BUILDING AND WAR/STRUGGLE and some other isolated domains. Though most source domains are fundamentally similar, the distribution and frequency of use, the number of metaphorical linguistic expressions and even the minor cases reveal a great deal of cultural variation, which is mostly connected with the history of Vietnam and Western countries, and the lifestyles of their people.
