Summary of the results of the thesis: modal particles are a common grammatical category of languages, modal particles in Chinese or Vietnamese do not take on a syntactic function in a sentence but are only used to express the mood in an utterance. By using modal particles, the speaker can express his subjective attitude, feelings as well as his purpose, improving the effectiveness of communication. This thesis consists of three chapters: Chapter I: Presents grammatical theories and viewpoints related to modal particles in Chinese and Vietnamese. Chapter II: Surveys the semantic expression and grammatical function of six modal particles such as 的、了、吧、吗、呢、啊 in Chinese with corresponding modal particles in Vietnamese such as "chu/co/the", "roi day", "nhe", "a/a", "hang", "ha/ho", "nhe/a". Chapter III: Compares and contrasts the most common modal particles in Chinese and Vietnamese. Points out similarities and differences. In particular, the biggest difference is that in Vietnamese there are some modal particles such as "ah", "ah", "nhe", "day"...etc. that can be used as politeness indicators. When using these words in communication, respect and hierarchy are highly valued...etc. Through these words, it is easy to recognize the relationship between the speaker and the listener. But the modal particles in Chinese do not have this function. This thesis has contributed to the study and research of modal particles in Chinese and Vietnamese. I sincerely hope that this thesis can be helpful for people to refer to and research. 11.

Chapter II: Survey the semantic expression and grammatical function of six intonational particles such as 的、了、吧、吗、呢、啊 in Chinese with correlative intonational particles in Vietnamese such as nhi/ch/that, then, okay, ah/ah, maybe, huh/ho, huh/ah. Chapter III: Compare frequent intonational particles in Chinese and Vietnamese. Indicate similar points and different points. In which the main difference is in Vietnamese with some intonational particles such as à, ah, nha, there and so on, they can be used as polite index. Using these words in communication means appreciating hierarchy, rank… through these words, I is easy to realize the relation between speaker and listener.
