10. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:
This dissertation surveys and compares the translation of English-Vietnamese financial terminology, based on a comparative study to translate financial terms from English to Vietnamese. Comparative translation is a research-based translation that ensures the quality of translations of this type of unit, which is the translation of the structural components of terms (words and phrases). It is considered one of the important translation methods with many applications in foreign language teaching and learning, terminology translation, contributing to the standardization of Vietnamese terminology, and serving as a method of evaluating linguistic theory.
This dissertation applies comparative theory to the translation of linguistic units, specifically words and phrases, to identify similarities and differences in order to accurately translate financial terms from English to their equivalents in Vietnamese within the financial field. The dissertation analyzes the comparative translation of English-Vietnamese financial terms at the word and phrase levels through the following steps: comparative analysis of the structural model of English-Vietnamese financial terms at the word and phrase level; comparative analysis of the translation of English-Vietnamese financial terms at the word and phrase level; comparison of naming methods; and proposes a translation aimed at standardizing Vietnamese financial terms: ensuring that Vietnamese financial terms are accurate, systematic, international, and national in nature; eliminating unnecessary and unimportant features; and selecting unique naming characteristics to construct financial terms. In cases where the English financial terms translated into Vietnamese are unclear in meaning or are translated explanatoryly or as definitions, the dissertation researches and proposes methods for accurately translating the scientific concept. Translating scientific terminology from English to Vietnamese is a meticulous process, requiring translators to research and explore to obtain Vietnamese translations that meet the criteria of the terminology and are consistent with the naming conventions of scientific terminology. The method of structural translation is extensively utilized in the translation of scientific terminology in general, and English-Vietnamese scientific terminology in particular.
11. Practical applications:
Translating scientific terms involves not only transferring conceptual content from the source language to the target language but also finding ways to construct the term in the target language to express the concept. This is essentially term-structural translation for the target language. Simultaneously, a comparative study of translation through a comparative analysis of the structural models and naming methods of English-Vietnamese scientific terms will contribute to standardizing Vietnamese scientific terms. This thesis is aimed at translators, researchers, linguists, dictionary compilers, teachers, and students interested in linguistics, term translation in general, and English scientific term translation in particular.
12. Further research:
With the initial achievements made in this research, in the near future, we hope to publish a standardized English-Vietnamese, Vietnamese-English comparative dictionary of TNTC (Television, Radio, Television, and Radio) that meets the needs of a wide range of interested readers.

7. Official thesis title: A contrastive study on the translation of English - Vietnamese financial terms (in financial documents)
8. Major: Contrastive linguistics Code: 62.22.02.41
9. Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Le Quang Thiem
10. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:
A contrastive study on the translation of the English - Vietnamese financial terms is conducted, based on comparative theories and conducted contrastive study on the terminological formations to translate the terms from English into Vietnamese. Contrastive translation is the transfer based on contrastive study, which ensures the quality of the translation in words and phrases, which are the two components of terms. This is one of the important translation methods, which provides implications in language learning and teaching, termilogical translation and contributes to standardizing Vietnamese terminology, and it is considered an evaluation method for linguistics.
The thesis applies the contrastive theory to the translation of the language units, specifically words and phrases, in order to find out the similarities and differences to accurately translate financial terms from English into equivalent terms in Vietnamese. The thesis analyzes translation of the English - Vietnamese financial terms, formed in words and phrases. The analysis is conducted through the following steps: analyzing and contrasting English - Vietnamese financial term formations and classifications, contrastive analysis the translations of these terms from English into Vietnamese, contrasting the identification methods of the financial terms in English and in Vietnamese to propose translation towards Vietnamese financial term standardizations that ensure the terms to be translated into Vietnamese properly. These terms in Vietnamese are accurate, systematic, international and ethnic, crossing out the unnecessary and unimportant characteristics to the concept of terminology, keeping characteristics with particular values to form financial terms. In the case of English financial terms being translated into Vietnamese improperly or being translated by definition or explanation, thesis proposes more suitable ways to translate these scientific concepts. Translation of the financial terms from English into Vietnamese is a painstaking process, requiring translators to research and explore for financial terms in Vietnamese to ensure the criteria of the terminology and the methods of financial term identification. Formation translation method should be fully utilized in scientific term translation in general, English - Vietnamese financial terms in particular.
11. Practical applicability:
Translating scientific terminology is not just about translating conceptual content from the source language into the target language, but also on how to build the term in the target language to express the concept. That is the formation translation of the terminology for the target language, which leads to proposals towards the standardization of the financial terms in Vietnamese.
The thesis is aimed at translators, researchers, linguistics, dictionary editors, teachers and learners who are interested in linguistics, term translation in general and English financial term translation in particular.
12. Further research directions:
With the initial results achieved in this study, in the near future, we hope to compile the English – Vietnamese and Vietnamese - English financial term dictionary that meets the needs of a large audience.
