Thesis topic: Survey of predicates with the group of predicates of action + movement + target as the center in Chinese (compared with Vietnamese) 8. Major: Linguistics 9. Code: 60 22 01 10. Scientific supervisor: Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Hieu 11. Summary of the results of the thesis: The target-moving verbs in the system of modern Chinese verbs are numerous and very frequently used. The most important role of the verb is to form the predicate with its arguments, which is the predicate of the sentence. It is easy to see that the predicate containing the target-moving verb as the center is of special importance in Chinese. The semantic-grammatical relationship between the elements in the language is the main-subordinate relationship between the central predicate - the target-moving verb and the subordinate elements. Based on these 3 main relationships, we divide the thesis into the following chapters: In chapter 1 of the thesis: we have outlined the research situation of predicates, predicates, action verbs (+movement) (+target) in Chinese and Vietnamese. Based on these studies, the author conducts research, analysis, selection and summary of the type of verb with a typical target-centered moving verb in Chinese with the following general model: Front adjunct + Vtt + Bt + Back adjunct In which, Vtt is the central verb, here only the target-centered moving verb; Bt - a spatial complement, only the target of movement, a mandatory component in the verb frame containing the target-centered moving verb. In chapter 2 of the thesis, based on determining the concepts of complements and adverbs - mandatory and non-mandatory elements in the verb structure containing the target-centered moving verb in Chinese, the thesis classifies and describes the types of complements and adverbs of the verb structure containing the target-centered moving verb in terms of the ability to combine, the semantic relationship between the auxiliary element and the center, with comparison with Vietnamese. In chapter 3 of the thesis, the author focused on selecting and examining 25 adverbs that appear most frequently in the lexicon containing the target-centered moving verb in Chinese; based on semantics, these 25 adverbs are divided into small groups, from which they give examples, analyze their similarities and differences with the corresponding adverbs in Vietnamese. We also examine the internal combination ability of several different groups of adverbs with compatible central verbs in the language, analyze, explain, and distinguish easily confused adverbs in Chinese, with the hope that Vietnamese learners will avoid unnecessary mistakes when learning Chinese. Through this thesis, we hope that those who learn Chinese or Vietnamese will approach clear, comprehensive concepts of predicates, lexicons, target-centered moving verbs, and lexicons containing target-centered moving verbs in Chinese and Vietnamese; From there, we can draw out the similarities and differences in semantics and grammar between the two languages, thereby applying this knowledge to communication in a fluent and smooth manner, avoiding unnecessary mistakes. 12. Ability to apply in practice (if any) As Vietnamese teachers, we are also trying to summarize the similarities and differences in many aspects between Chinese and Vietnamese, and are also paying attention to the differences between Chinese and Vietnamese predicates, Chinese phonemes and Vietnamese phonemes, especially phonemes with target-centered moving predicates in Chinese and Vietnamese. From the differences and comparisons pointed out in these studies, if the speaker pays a little attention during the process of communicating in a foreign language (Vietnamese for Chinese or Chinese for Vietnamese), we believe that we will minimize unnecessary language errors due to the influence of our mother tongue. This is really helpful for Chinese students when learning Vietnamese, as well as for Chinese and Vietnamese colleagues when teaching and compiling practical textbooks for teaching the language. 13. Further research directions We will continue to research on phonemes containing goal-centered moving predicates in future teaching or research.

Summary of the thesis In modern Han verbal system, there are many predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives) which are used very often. The most important role of predicator is, together with its complement, to build predicating phrase and become predicate of the sentence. It's easy to see that predicating phrase, with center predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives), has received a particularly important role in Chinese. The relationship between meaning – grammar among factors of the phrase is the main – supplement relationship among center predicators - predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives) and supplements. Based on these three main relationships, we divide the essay into the following chapters: In the first chapter of this essay: we give an overview about the situation of studying predicators, predicating phrases, predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives) in Han language and Vietnamese language. The author, based on those studies, carried out to research, analyze, select and summarize the kinds of typical center predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives) in Chinese in the general model as below: Front supplement + Vtt + Bt + Back supplement front supplement + center predicator + complement + behind supplement In which, center predicator here is predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives), and complement is to define the place, the target of moving, this is the obligatory factor in predict phrase with the center is variable predictor. In the second chapter of this essay, based on the definition of “complement” and “prefix” - the obligatory and non-obligatory complements in the structure of predicating phrase with predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives) - center predicators- in Chinese, the essay classified, described the kinds of supplement and “prefix” in the structure of predicating phrase with predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives) - center predicators, based on combining capacity, relationship between supplement and main factors, in the comparison with Vietnamese language. In the third chapter, the author focus on selecting and studying 26 supplements that are the most often appear in predicting phrase with predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives) - center predictors- in Chinese; based on meaning to divide these 26 supplements into smaller groups, then give examples, analyze the similarities and differences between them and correlative supplements in Vietnamese language. We also did research the possibility of internal combination among several different supplement groups with the correlative center predictors in the phrase, to analyse, explain, differentiate the supplements that may be easily misunderstood in Chinese, with the hope that Vietnamese students will avoid this kind of mistake while studying Chinese. With this essay, we hope that Han and Vietnamese language students may have the opportunity to approach a clear and complete definition about predictor, predicating phrase, predictor of acting (+moving) (objectives), predicating phrase with predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives) - center predicators- in Chinese, and Vietnamese language; from which to sum up the similarities and differences in meaning and grammar between two languages, then to apply this knowledge and communicate fluently, to avoid worthless mistakes. 12. The applicable possibility in reality Being Vietnamese language teachers, we are now trying our best to summarize the similarities and differences in many sides between Chinese and Vietnamese language, also focusing on the difference between predictors in Chinese and Vietnamese language, predicating phrases in Chinese and Vietnames language, especially predicating phrases with predictors of acting (+moving) (+objectives) - center predicators- in Chinese and Vietnamese language. From the difference, we compare and define in this study that, while communicating in foreign language (Vietnamese for Chinese people and Chinese for Vietnamese people), if the communicators just take a care, we believe that we can minimize the worthless language mistakes infuenced by mother tongue. This is really useful for Chinese students in studying Vietnamese language, as well as Chinese and Vietnamese colleagues while teaching and writing textbook for practical teaching Vietnamese language. 13. The following directions to research We will continue to study about predicating phrase with center variable predicator in the process of teaching or studying in the future.
