- The thesis identifies and analyzes positive-negative evaluation signs, scales and evaluation topics; points out the evaluation trends of scales and topics in the relationship between these variables and the judges' decisions.
- The thesis examines the level of power from lexical signs such as: words of address, means of indicating illocutionary force, code-switching; on discourse such as: interruptions, word count, coordination of assessments; analyzes expressions of three types of power: legitimate, referential, and expert.
- Through contact with English corpus, the thesis verifies the characteristics of evaluative language in Vietnamese and finds some differences in evaluative language in Vietnamese and English.

The research results help to enhance the effectiveness of communication, especially in assessment environments; The survey results related to English can become English learning materials; The findings on explicit assessment language signs, assessment meaning structure elements, value parameters, assessment scales can serve to develop an analytical framework for assessment language in feedback, opinion polls, suggestions, etc.; study assessment language in artificial intelligence.
12. Further research directions:
Research on evaluative language in other contexts, research on expressive meaning structure in Vietnamese, research on evaluative language based on other parameters, research on building an analytical framework for evaluative feedback, and research based on other social factors affecting evaluative communication.
