Scientific Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Chinh 11. Summary of thesis results: Through the topic "Understanding purely Vietnamese and Sino-Vietnamese elements in Vietnamese idioms," we discovered many research issues with scientific significance, usefulness, and interest. 1. The thesis begins by exploring the theoretical foundations related to the topic, then delves into the study of the usage, artistic structure, and content value in two types of Vietnamese idioms: those using Sino-Vietnamese elements and those using purely Vietnamese elements. This approach helps us understand the origin and structure of Vietnamese idioms, and provides accurate assessments of the function, role, and operating mechanism of each type of element within the subtypes of idioms they participate in. 2. The Vietnamese idiom body includes purely Vietnamese idioms, idioms with Sino-Vietnamese elements, and a very small number of idioms influenced by other languages. Among these, purely Vietnamese idioms constitute the majority. 3. Idioms with Sino-Vietnamese elements include those that borrow the original Sino-Vietnamese pronunciation and those with Sino-Vietnamese elements that have been Vietnamized. Sino-Vietnamese elements are Vietnamized in various ways, such as: directly interpreting the meaning of Sino-Vietnamese idioms; adding or removing certain words from Sino-Vietnamese structures to make them understandable and easy to use according to Vietnamese habits and thinking; changing the meaning or structure of Sino-Vietnamese idioms to create flexibility and adaptability when incorporated into the Vietnamese idiom treasury; and using simple, everyday phrases to form Sino-Vietnamese idioms… In general, the proportion of Vietnamese idioms using Sino-Vietnamese elements is very rich in the Vietnamese idiom treasury. 4. Studying the purely Vietnamese and Sino-Vietnamese elements in Vietnamese idioms, we see the richness, flexibility, clarity, essence, and wit of purely Vietnamese idioms, and the elegance and balance of idioms containing Sino-Vietnamese elements. 5. Purely Vietnamese elements form the core and dominant element in the Vietnamese idiom treasury, fully reflecting all aspects of Vietnamese cultural, social, and productive life, creating the distinctive linguistic characteristics and the essence of Vietnamese national culture. Sino-Vietnamese elements are used by the Vietnamese as an official, widespread, and domesticated part, to the point that they are irreplaceable and indispensable in both spoken and written Vietnamese. The immense value of Sino-Vietnamese elements has contributed to the diversity of the Vietnamese language, becoming an indispensable part, like a part of the bloodline of the Vietnamese language. 12. Practical Application This thesis initially explores the usage and compares the functional value and role of purely Vietnamese and Sino-Vietnamese elements in Vietnamese idioms, contributing to the study and explanation of the history of the Vietnamese language and the influence of Chinese characters on the Vietnamese written language. 13. Future Research Directions: This thesis is a pioneering study on the influence of Chinese characters on the Vietnamese language. We hope to continue to delve deeper into this research and achieve further results, particularly regarding the reciprocal influence between Chinese and Vietnamese idioms and theoretical issues in idiom studies in general. 14. Published works related to this thesis: None.
