This article aims to identify the syntactic and semantic features of stylistic oxymorons in the English language. Some previous researchers and linguists have studied oxymorons from different aspects- with a comparison and contrast in native and non-native languages about the functions, concepts, categorizations, semantic logical foundations, and expressive values. The article uses qualitative and quantitative research methods with techniques like description, linguistic and contextual analysis, induction, deduction, comparison, etc. Semantic fields and oxymoron types were grouped as part of the data statistics from a collection of 570 oxymorons, based on the sources of numerous articles, websites, plays, poems, textbooks, novels, short stories, colloquialisms, everyday conversations, sayings and quotes for one year. The data was then combined and analyzed to determine the semantic aspects of literal and figurative meanings for the stylistic variation of literary, artistic, philosophical, media, and everyday expressions. This article will contribute to a vast understanding of the oxymorons of the English language from the linguistic and social-cultural dimensions for both lecturers and students at the Faculty of English, Hanoi Open University.
