Summary of the thesis results: The thesis surveyed and described 857 linguistic data to identify the structure of sentence combinations in the language of preschool children. The research results show the richness of sentence combinations. Among the sentence combinations, simple sentence combinations account for the largest proportion. However, complex sentence combinations show the most diverse expressions. These are sentence combinations with the form of sub-sentence "nested" within a sentence. In addition, preschool children also use quite a lot of coordinate and subordinate sentence combinations. However, with these compound sentence types, children often do not pay attention to using words with connecting functions or even omit the main component in the second clause (there is the phenomenon of ellipsis). Therefore, preschool children still create dialogues that are incomplete in grammatical structure and ambiguous in meaning. From a semantic perspective, in descriptive meaning, situations can be expressed very richly in sentence combinations. The situation can be expressed in its most complete form (as the core of the sentence, as a clause in a compound sentence) or it can be omitted (the predicate being verbs, adjectives, etc.). Besides, children often shift the focus of the situation within sentence structures. Not only is the content of the situation diverse, but the semantic roles within sentence structures are also very rich, with 11 semantic roles. In terms of modal meaning, children's sentence structures often express the following modal forms: enumeration, narration, contrast, choice, and progression, with many different means of expressing modality. Entering the middle preschool age, children have a great need to present their thoughts and emotional states to those around them. One of these is the use of argumentative relationships to persuade the listener. In argumentation, children may present one or three arguments leading to a conclusion according to their intention. Some conclusions are explicitly stated, while others are implicitly implied. One of the distinctive features of sentence structures in middle preschool children is the beginning of their ability to create implied meanings to enhance communication effectiveness. By "intentionally" violating pragmatic rules, children use sentence structures to serve their own thoughts, actions, and emotions. Most notably, implied meanings enable children to express criticism, pleading, and demands without speaking directly. 11. Practical applications: - Providing preschool education students with information on the current state of sentence structure usage in middle preschool children. - Providing preschool teachers with information on children's use of sentence structures. From this, preschool teachers can choose methods to help children use grammatical models more proficiently and to help them express their thoughts clearly. 12. Future research directions: - Researching sentence structures in the language of preschool children (3-6 years old). - Researching methods to help preschool children use sentence combinations correctly and effectively to help them develop coherent language. 13. Published works related to the thesis: None.

Major: Linguistics. Code: 60 22 01 9. Scientific supervisor: Prof. Dr. Li Toan Thang - Dictionary Institute. 10. Summary of the results of the thesis: The thesis in which there are the survey, description of 857 datas to identify the structure of the combination syntax in the language of preschool children (4 -5 years old). Research results show the abundance of syntax combinations. Among the syntax combinations, single syntax combination accounts for the largest proportion. However, it is the complex syntax combination that has the most diversity of expressions. This is a type of syntax combination “sub-syntax overlapped in the syntax”. In addition, preschool children use a bit lot of syntax combinations of coordinated compounds and as well principal and accessory compounds. However, with the form of compound syntax, children often do not pay attention to the use of words operating to link or they do not even use the main components in the latter clause (with symptoms of omission). Therefore, preschool children still create incomplete dialogues of grammar structures, the meaning is still ambiguous. From a semantic point of view, the fact is likely to express very richly in the syntax combinations. The situation may be the most complete expression in the form (the core of sentences, a clause of compound sentence) or may be omitted participating elements (the predicate elements are the verbs, adjectives, etc.). Besides, the children often shift the situation in the syntax combinations. Not only there is diversity in the content of situation but in the syntax combinations, roles of meaning are also redundant that is also very rich, with 11 meaning roles. In terms of the modality, the syntax combination of children is often expressed in the following states: list, report, opposition, option, increasing with several means of expression of different modalities. Step to 4 – 5 years old, the children have huge demand in the presentation of their thoughts, emotions ... with the surrounding people. One of them is that the children use argument relations to convince the listener. In argument, the children can make one or three foundations to lead to the conclusion in the mind of the children. In which, there are some explicit conclusions and implicit conclusions. One of the special features in the syntax combination of preschool children is to start to create imitation to improve the efficiency of communication. With the "willfulness" of violating the rules of language, the children have used the syntax combination to serve their thoughts, actions, emotions, of which, the most prominent implicature helped the children achieve critical and begged actions ... without speaking directly. 11. Applicability in practice: - Can be applied to the provision for preschool student teachers of preschool education on the status using the syntax combination in preschoolers. - Can be applied to the provision for preschool teachers with the real situation of the use of the syntax combination of the children. From there, the preschool teachers will choose measures to help children use more fluently grammatical patterns and help children learn to express their coherent thoughts. For example, measures: 12. Further research directions: - The syntax combination study in the language of preschool children (3-6 years old). - Research measures to help preschool children use the syntax combinations effectively and exactly in order to help children develop coherent language. 13.
