Specialization: Sino-Vietnamese Studies. Code: 60 22 40 9. Scientific Advisor: Dr. La Minh Hang, Staff member of the Institute of Sino-Vietnamese Studies - Hanoi. 10. Summary of the thesis results: As a model poet and cultural figure of the 16th century, Nguyen Binh Khiem has always received profound attention from researchers. His Nôm poetry is considered a bridge between Nguyen Trai's poetry and the later vernacular poetry system, with the most prominent example being the collection of Nôm poems, Trinh Quoc Cong Nguyen Binh Khiem Thi Tap. Although the work does not contain a large amount of Nôm characters, it still preserves a considerable amount of ancient Nôm script and many valuable traces of ancient Vietnamese language. Therefore, this thesis will first provide an overview of the Trinh Quoc Cong Nguyen Binh Khiem Thi Tap, clarifying the issue of the work's age, and then, based on a statistical classification of Nôm characters according to criteria of form, pronunciation, and meaning, clarify the nature and appearance of Nôm characters in the text. Furthermore, the thesis will also provide vocabulary statistics to help us better understand the historical relationship between Nôm script and the Vietnamese language in a specific work at a particular time. This will be important material for researchers to use in conducting related studies. 11. Practical applications: The results derived from the transcription, annotation, and survey of Nôm script in the text will be useful for the research process on the history of Nôm script and the Vietnamese language. 12. Future research directions: Based on the research results from the Master's thesis, this topic can be developed into a doctoral dissertation, with the individual's efforts and the assistance of professors, teachers, and partners.
INFORMATION ON MASTER'S THESIS
1. Full name: Hoang Tinh Thuy 2. Gender: Female 3. Date of birth: November 26, 1985 4. Place of birth: Da Nang 5. Admission decision number: 1355/2008/QD-XHNV-KH&SĐH on 24th October 2008 by the President of the University of Social Studies and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. 6. Changes in the academic process: None 7. Thesis title: A study on the Nom characters and Vietnamese language in Nguyen Binh Khiem's anthology of poems. 8. Major: Han - Nom Code: 60 22 40 9. Supervisor: La Minh Hang, PhD., Researcher of the Institute of Han – Nom Studies, Hanoi. 10. Summary of thesis findings: The works by Nguyen Binh Khiem, a prominent scholar and poet of the 16th century, have always been an interesting topic of discussion of the academia. His poems in Nom are considered the bridge between Nguyen Trai's poems and later compositions in the national language, and the most outstanding work is Nguyen Binh Khiem's anthology of poems. Nom characters are not dominant in his works; still they preserve highly valuable ancient Nom codes and numerous traces of ancient Vietnamese. From that perspective, this thesis first and foremost provides an overall picture of Nguyen Binh Khiem's anthology of poems, clarifies its time and age, and, from the categorization of Nom based on its morphology, phonology and semantics, gives an insight into the attributes of Nom in contexts. In addition, the thesis indicates statistics on lexicology in order to illustrate the historical relation between Nom and Vietnamese in a specific work in the time that it was created. The thesis will thus serve as an important document for further development of related studies by concerning researchers. 11. Applicability: Findings from the transcription, explanation and analysis of Nom characters in contexts will make contributions to studies on the history of Nom and Vietnamese. 12. Further research directions: On the basis of research findings at master level, the topic could be further developed and upgraded to a doctoral study, with individual efforts of the candidate and thanks to support of professors, teachers and other stakeholders.
