10. Summary of the thesis results:
The thesis "Exploring the semantic field of referential objects in Vietnamese folk jokes" focuses on two issues: examining vocabulary groups denoting referential meanings in folk jokes, and exploring how Vietnamese people name objects in these stories. This allows us to understand the cultural characteristics and thinking patterns of the Vietnamese people.
Through our survey, we found that Vietnamese folk jokes make extensive use of linguistic symbols, and the role these symbols play in contributing to the content of the jokes is immense. The symbolic fields studied are fundamental ones, closely related to the daily life of the Vietnamese community.
Structurally, most of the allusions are simple words and compound words. The number and variety of allusions appearing in the stories are relatively abundant, and they intertwine, creating similarities as well as differences in meaning. From this, they acquire different values in each specific context, generating ironic, satirical, and educational humor.
The relationship between symbolic forms and the content of jokes reflects the concrete, relatable, and easily understandable way of thinking of the Vietnamese people. Through the use of symbolic elements, the characteristics of this genre, as well as the culture of the Vietnamese people in general, can be seen.
11. Practical applications:
The research results contribute to the preservation and promotion of Vietnamese folk culture, and also supplement teaching and learning materials on humorous stories in the general education curriculum.
12. Future research directions:
- Learn about the symbolic meaning in Vietnamese folk jokes.
- Explore the role of symbolic meaning in expressing the themes of jokes.

Their combination makes their meaning both similarities and differences. That is why they have different values in specific contexts and create sarcasm, ironical and educational laughs.
