10. Summary of the thesis results:

This thesis is a study of conjunctions within the explanatory-illustrative category, based on the three-dimensional theory and drawing on the collected works of Ho Chi Minh. The survey results show that:

- The combination possibilities of this group of conjunctions are very diverse, rich, and flexible, not only combining with other word types and phrases but also with complete clauses and even entire paragraphs to clarify the content mentioned in the preceding statement.

- When used in written texts, these connecting words also contribute to the argumentative value and express the writer's strong emotional impact and open evaluation of the issue being discussed.

- By analyzing and understanding the linking devices used by President Ho Chi Minh to connect texts, we can gain some insight into the argumentative artistic style in his works.

11. Practical applications:

This research aims to improve the effectiveness of teaching text analysis and text cohesion in schools. Furthermore, the research findings will be helpful in analyzing texts in situations involving connecting words. This will enable students, teachers, and even researchers to use words, phrases, and sentences accurately in meaning during text creation.

12. Future research directions:

Further research into other groups of conjunctions based on the three-dimensional theory aims to contribute to expanding and supplementing the theoretical aspects of text linguistics and discourse analysis theory.
