ABSTRACT
The study of the lexical-semantic field and the employment of the theories of semantic field in research on the language of literature have clearly demonstrated the links amongst words in the whole vocabulary system and their functions. Therefore, it is essential to approach the poetic works of Nguyen Trong Tao by investigating the lexical-semantic field of romantic love to affirm the values of his works as well as his style of composition. With the use of quantitative and qualitative methods in the linguistic description, this article analyses and establishes the semantic relationships between language expressions thus, clarifying the characteristics, role and significance of the mentioned semantic field in Nguyen Trong Tao’s poems. The result is not only hoped to contribute to the awareness of semantic-field-related theories in our language system, but also facilitate the literature teaching practice in high school.
KEYWORDS:semantic field, romantic love, Nguyen Trong Tao’s poetry, symbolization
