Abstract

This study aimed to investigate grammars of Vietnamese Feminist Poems. Most of selected poems were from the book of Vietnamese Feminist Poems from Antiquity to the present (Thơ Nữ Việt Nam Từ xưa đến nay). The collected data was 30-item Vietnamese poems. The finding revealed that oral folk poems (Ca dao) were composed in free rhythms, without metrical rule. Lục bát form is a couplet linking a six-syllable line with an eight-syllable line. Song Thất Lục bát links of seven syllable lines as well as a six-eight couplet. It also uses tone named Bằng and Trắc. The grammar of Vietnamese poems is complicated. There is the omission of subjects in the poems. Phrases as noun phrases convey descriptive a lot of information. Moreover, adjective phrases describe detail within the noun phrase. As verb phrases can affect the way we relate to poems.
