Summary of the results of the thesis - In Chapter 1 of the thesis, we presented some theoretical issues related to the topic: + Some concepts related to communication: what is communication? What is social communication? + Reviewing previous research works on discourse and different concepts of discourse. + Presenting some concepts on: discourse analysis; discourse structure theory; discourse functions; discourse segmentation method;...etc. + On the other hand, this chapter also briefly introduces resistance songs: concepts; characteristics; stages; popularity, etc. This theoretical basis will serve as the foundation and research orientation for the entire thesis. - In Chapter 2 of the thesis, we examine and analyze the structure of 104 revolutionary songs, and draw the following conclusions: + The structure of a song consists of 6 basic parts. Each part plays a very important role in determining the success of a song. + Songs are all constructed according to the principle of parallelism. It can be parallel in terms of rhythm, words, phrases, sentences or even the structure of paragraphs and lyrics. + In terms of discourse relationships, we see 6 relationships: proof, concession, cause and effect, listing, purpose, time. + Depending on the content of the song, the song title can be a single sentence, a phrase or a word class. + Musicians often use comparison/figurative language; linking devices; inverted structure; nested structure; subordinate predicates and adverbs to increase the authenticity, vividness and depth of revolutionary songs. In chapter 3 of the thesis, we went into the function of impact on the social community of the lyrics in revolutionary songs. These are the functions: + Impact function through verbal actions; + Impact function through sub-functions; + The function of impact through the combination of sound and language; The above units are all selected and arranged by the authors according to their own very subtle and unique intentions, making the songs become very profound musical works with strong vitality, rich in realism. 11. Ability to apply in practice The research results of the thesis can contribute to solving many problems about the use of Vietnamese and are the basis for compiling content, determining methods of teaching Vietnamese not only for Vietnamese people but also for foreigners learning Vietnamese. In particular, in the current trend of integration and globalization, the research results of the thesis also contribute significantly to improving the function of using lyrics when musicians compose new musical works with messages they want to send to listeners; thereby making it easier to communicate and express their communication purposes. 12. Further research directions: None 13. Published works related to the thesis: None

Summary of the thesis's results - In Chapter 1, we present some theoretical issues relating to the topic, including: + Mentioning about some concepts relating to media: What is media? What is social media? + Reviewing the research on discourse up to now and different notions of discourse; + Presenting some concepts of discourse analysis, theoretical discourse structure, discourse functions, discourse segmentation method, etc. + On the other hand, this Chapter also introduces Resistance songs about their concept, characteristics, stage, popularity, etc. This theoretical basis is the foundation and research direction of the entire thesis. - In Chapter 2, we proceed to survey, analyze the structure of 104 revolutionary songs, and draw some comments as follows: + The structure of a song includes 6 basic parts. Each section plays an important role in deciding the success of the song; + The songs are composed according to the principle of parallelism. This can be parallel in terms of rhythm, word, speech, statement, or structure of paragraphs and words. + In terms of discourse relations, we find 6 factors, including: demonstration, concession, causality, purpose, time. + Depending on the content of the song, its name can be a single sentence, a term or a word. + Composers often use the method of comparison/ metaphor, the means of linking, reversed structure, integrated structure, auxiliary predicate and adverb, which increases the realism, flexibility and meaning to revolutionary songs. - In Chapter 3, we consider the functional effects on social community of the lyrics in revolutionary songs as below: + Functional effects through action words; + Functional effects through subfunctions; + Functional effects through the combination between music and lyrics; - These units are selected and arranged arranged by composers' own intention, which makes the songs more meaningful with rich vitality and reality. 12. Applicability in reality The research results of the thesis can contribute to solving many problems in using Vietnamese. They are also the bases for compiling the content and determining the teaching methods for Vietnamese people and foreigners. In particular, with the trend of integration and globalization today, the research results can contribute to the improvement of using the functions of lyrics when the composers create a new song implying meaningful messages to the audience, which makes these composers easier to communicate and express their communication purposes. 13.
