13. Further research directions:

The linguistic culture of Korea and Vietnam has been influenced by Chinese idioms, so both peoples are using many idioms that have been nationalized (i.e., Koreanized and Vietnamized) from Chinese idioms. In the process of nationalization, these idioms reflect the linguistic and cultural characteristics (concepts and ways of thinking) of each people. Therefore, there may be differences in structure and semantics between Koreanized Chinese idioms and Vietnamized Chinese idioms.

Based on the above theory, theoretical basis and achievements of this LA, we intend to compare the structure and semantics of Koreanized Chinese idioms and Vietnamized Chinese idioms to examine the similarities and differences in language and culture between the Korean and Vietnamese people.

13. Future research directions:

The language culture of Korea and Vietnam has been influenced by Chinese idioms, therefore both nations are using a lot of Chinese idioms transformed into Korean and Vietnamese. While being transformed into Korean and Vietnamese, these idioms reflect the features of language and culture (notions and thinking ways) of two nations. Therefore, there could exist differences of constructions and meanings between Chinese idioms transformed into Korean and Chinese idioms transformed into Vietnamese.

Depending upon the theory mentioned above and the theoretical basis and the achievements of this thesis, we are going to compare and contrast the constructions and meanings between Chinese idioms transformed into Korean and Chinese idioms transformed into Vietnamese in order to observe the same things and the different things of language and culture between Korean and Vietnamese.
