- This thesis synthesizes and describes the basic aspects of onomatopoeia and mimetic words in Korean, including studies on general concepts, syntactic characteristics, methods of formation, and applications in various literary forms and language styles. For each aspect, the thesis compares Korean with Vietnamese to clarify some differences in the language, thinking, and culture of the two nations.

- Both Korean and Vietnamese use reduplication, compounding, and morpheme-based word formation to create onomatopoeic and descriptive words, with reduplication being the primary method. In particular, in reduplication, while Vietnamese uses rhymes and tones to create new words with distinct nuances of meaning, Korean uses consonants as the main tool to express the meaning of a word. The relationship between sound and meaning is very close.
