10. Summary of new results of the thesis:
- The thesis systematically describes the “give-receive sentence”, a special type of sentence in Japanese from the perspective of a Vietnamese researcher, from the aspects of syntactic, semantic and pragmatics, paying special attention to the semantic types of the verb give-receive, semantic layers, semantic roles, and expressive semantic structure of the sentence.
- From the perspective of grammaticalization theory, the thesis has identified and analyzed three levels in the process of transition from literal meaning to grammatical meaning of the verbs of giving and receiving, leading to the phenomenon of the fictitiousness of basic semantic layers and the ability to take on the role of auxiliary verbs in the sentence, creating the characteristics of the sentence of giving and receiving in Japanese.
- Through comparing the Japanese exchange and receipt sentences with equivalent meanings in Vietnamese, the thesis has clarified the differences in structure, semantic and pragmatic characteristics of this sentence type in the two languages, especially analyzing the different levels of perception of the nuance of gratitude between Japanese and Vietnamese people when using exchange and receipt sentences. This leads to the possibility of more common appearance in communication of exchange and receipt sentences in Japanese.
11. Practical application:
- Compile reference books for Vietnamese students learning Japanese and Japanese students learning Vietnamese.
- Serving the teaching of Japanese for Vietnamese and Vietnamese for Japanese, supporting skills in translation, compiling bilingual dictionaries (Japanese - Vietnamese, Vietnamese - Japanese) in Vietnam.
12. Further research directions:
Study the pragmatic conditions that determine the presence of the verbs give and receive in sentences.

10. Summary of a new findings of the thesis:
- The thesis, which is conducted by using a Vietnamese researcher's perspective, has systematically described the GIVE-RECEIVE sentence type - a special Japanese sentence pattern. Relevant knowledge of semantics and pragmatics, especially different layers of meanings of GIVE – RECEIVE verbs, has been employed.
- In terms of grammaticalization, the thesis has identified and analyzed three levels in the process of tranferring from actual meaning to grammartical meanings of GIVE – RECEIVE verbs leading to the desemantication of basic meaning layer and the ability of acting as supplementary verbs, which creates distinct characteristics of GIVE-RECEIVE sentence in Japanese.
- By making a comparative analysis of GIVE-RECEIVE sentences in Japanese and their Vietnamese equivalents, the thesis has drawn the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic distinctions of this sentence type in the two target languages. The thesis has also paid special attention to the analysis of different feelings of gratitude of the Vietnamese and Japanese when they use this sentence type.
11. Practical applicability, if any:
Compiling supplementary materials for Vietnamese learners of Japanese and Janapanese learners of Vietnamese;
Serving as pedagogical aids in teaching Japanese for Vietnamese and teaching Vietnamese for Japanese; rendering considerable assitance with translation or compilation of bilingual dictionaries (Japanese-Vietnamese, Vietnamese-Japanses) in Vietnam.
12. Further research directions, if any:
Researching pragmatic requirements for the appearance of GIVE - RECEIVE verbs in sentences
