10. Summary of thesis results:
The thesis introduces basic contents related to the theory of grammaticalization and the phenomenon of changing real words into function words in Vietnamese viewed from the perspective of grammaticalization.
Based on the theory of grammaticalization, the thesis examines the phenomenon of grammaticalization of some directional verbs of motion and some non-directional verbs of motion, which are transformed into “useless words” and become function words. Through the sources of materials, the thesis has:
- Quantitative assessment of the frequency of occurrence (use) of directional verbs of motion and non-directional verbs of motion, as verbs and prepositions in the surveyed corpus sources.
- Quantitative correlation analysis of the ability to function as verbs and prepositions of the surveyed verb groups
With the survey results obtained, the thesis has assessed and affirmed the phenomenon of grammaticalization of related word groups. These results can be considered as the results of a case study, on which basis, the theoretical framework of grammaticalization can be applied in solving problems on a broader scale of Vietnamese grammar.
11. Practical application:
The results of describing and analyzing the phenomenon of grammaticalization can be applied to the compilation of dictionaries and grammar books as well as to the teaching and learning of Literature in schools today.
12. Further research directions:
Continue to study the grammaticalization process not only in verbs but also in other word classes, to contribute to clarifying the characteristics of Vietnamese from the perspective of grammaticalization theory.
13. Published works related to the thesis: None

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
The thesis introduces the basics of the grammaticalization theory and the transfer of content words to function words in Vietnamese language.
Based on the grammaticalization theory, the thesis investigates the grammaticalization of some directional movement verbs and some undirectional movement verbs which become function words. With various sources of data, the thesis:
- Study the frequency of directional movement verbs and undirectional movement verbs when they function as verbs and prepositions.
- Analyzes the qualitative correlation of the survey verbs performing as verbs and prepositions.
After the analysis, the thesis gives an affirmative evaluation of the grammaticalization of the surveyed verbs. This can be considered as the result of a case study, from which can be developed to study this phenomenon on a larger scale of Vietnamese grammar.
11. Practical applicability:
The results of the thesis can be applicable to writing dictionaries, grammar books as well as language and literature teaching and learning at schools.
12. Further research directions:
Study the grammaticalization of other parts of speech in order to clarify the characteristics of Vietnamese language from the perspective of the grammaticalization theory.
