Summary of thesis results: The thesis surveys the characteristics of legal normative documents in the economic field of China through three aspects: relevant theories, overall structure, and internal structure. Based on this, we also have a separate section to compare the most prominent characteristics with legal normative documents in the economic field of China and Vietnam. Legal normative documents in the economic field are a type of document containing legal norms and legal relationships aimed at managing, regulating, and standardizing economic activities. They are named, their content defined, and their issuance procedures stipulated by competent state agencies according to law. They are commanding, coercive, widely binding, and can be used repeatedly on different subjects. Based on the scope of subjects, management effectiveness, type, legal relationship, and stage, the system of legal normative documents in China in general, and in the economic field in particular, can be divided into different types such as Constitutions, Laws, Regulations, Decisions, Circulars, etc. The overall structure consists of specific forms aimed at implementing the content of the document, with the various aspects organized and arranged according to certain rules. The general characteristics of the overall structure of legal normative texts are expressed through the codified content, administrative style, and specific linkages to ensure the appropriate expression of legal ideas for the implementing subjects. The internal structural characteristics of legal normative texts in the economic field are considered from three fundamental elements: language style, vocabulary, and sentence structure. The language style belongs to the administrative style and must reflect the characteristics of language: accuracy, brevity, conciseness, clarity, seriousness, and formality. This is also the essence of the language of legal normative texts, achieving the authority, solemnity, and logic of legal norms through legal terminology, specialized modal terms, and the application of specific sentence models. Finally, some important characteristics regarding specific text formats, the use of modality, and textual cohesion between Chinese and Vietnamese legal texts in the economic field are considered from a comparative perspective of similarities and differences. Based on the above analysis results, when translating relevant texts, we must be equipped with the necessary knowledge about the construction of legal texts, including legal and linguistic studies, combining two translation methods, "direct translation" and "ideological translation," to effectively translate legal texts and promote exchange and cooperation in the economic field between China and Vietnam. 12. Practical application (if any) The study of legal language and the characteristics of legal texts will indirectly contribute to lawmaking, comparative legal research, and provide scientific grounds and support as methods and testing standards for techniques related to legal language. The results of this thesis also directly contribute to the translation of legal texts between Chinese and Vietnamese, and contribute to the teaching of specialized legal language in the field of economics and other applications of language and law. 13. Further Research Directions This thesis is a research work on the characteristics of legal texts in the economic field of China and a comparison with legal texts in the economic field of Vietnam. We hope to continue to conduct in-depth research and achieve further results in this research direction.

Summary of all theses (snapshot result of thesis, emphasize new results, if any) Summary The thesis shall survey characters of legal documents in Chinese economy in three of its aspects, specifically related reasoning, general structure and internal structure. At the same time, based on this, we also devote a specific part to compare the most outstanding characters with the legal documents of Chinese economy and Vietnamese economy. The legal documents in the economy is a type of documents including of legal documents and legal relations for the purpose of management, operation and scaling the economic activities, therefore, the competent authorities of the State give them names, content institution and promulgation order in accordance with law which are guidable, coercive and mandatory in general and can be used many times to different objects. Within the scope of subjects, management validity, genres, legal relations, period, system of legal documents in China in general in the economy in particular, it can be divided into different types such as Constitutions, Laws, Rules, Decisions, Circulars… The general structure is a specific type for the purpose of implementing their contents in many aspects, in which, hey are organized and arranged in certain order. General characters of the general structure of legal documents are expressed via clauses, administrative styles and specific associations to express legal ideas in accordance with the executive objects. Characters of internal structure of the legal documents in the economy are considered in the most basic factors, namely linguistics, words and sentences. The linguistic style belongs to administrative style which must express linguistic character in accurate, succinct, understandable, serious and solemn. This is quintessence of language of the legal documents which is expressed in ascendancy, solemnity and logics of the legal documents through legal terms from professional stative words and the application of sentence model in specific manner. Finally, some important characters of specific formality of documents, situation of use of stative words and document association between legal documents in Vietnamese and ones in Chinese in the economy are considered in comparative aspect of similarity and difference. Based on above analysis, when we translate the relevant legal documents, we should equip necessary knowledge of establishing legal documents, in which, such knowledge should relate to law, linguistics, associate two methods of transactions, namely “full translation” and “meaning translation” to translate well the legal documents, then come to exchange and cooperation in the economy between China and Vietnam. 12. Applicability in the reality (if any) Researching on legal words and characters of legal documents shall directly contribute to the establishment of legal documents, comparative comparison of law, providing scientific basis such as testing method and standard for legal words-related techniques. Outcomes of this thesis also directly contribute to the translation of legal documents between Chinese and Vietnamese while contributing to teaching professional language of law in the economy and other applications in linguistics and law. 13. Next trends of research The thesis is a research on the characters of legal documents in Chinese economy in comparison with those of Vietnam. We are desirous of making further research and obtaining many achievements from this research.
