11. Summary of thesis results:

This thesis explores and describes in detail the structural model and some issues related to emphatic particles in English in relation to Vietnamese. With this objective in mind, the thesis includes the following research contents:

- We attempt to establish several forms of expressing meanings that can correspond in both languages, stemming from the use of emphatic particles in English, compared with their Vietnamese equivalents. To the extent possible, we will try to model formulas for expressing meaning using particles, helping learners preserve the emphasized meaning when translating an English utterance into Vietnamese or vice versa. Based on such comparative analysis, we also hope to identify and analyze errors made by Vietnamese English learners related to the means of emphasizing information.

Our thesis aims to investigate the means of emphasizing information in English and Vietnamese through particles. By describing and analyzing the means of emphasis in English and Vietnamese, the similarities and differences between these means of emphasis, as expressed through the use of particles in the two languages, will be highlighted. These similarities and differences show how the characteristics of each language type influence usage, thereby highlighting the relationship between form and content of linguistic events and phenomena. With these results, the thesis hopes to contribute to improving the quality of English teaching for Vietnamese speakers, and to avoid errors in language use and translation.

12. Practical applications:

- The thesis also applied several new achievements in linguistic theory, primarily those within the realm of pragmatics, to conduct a pragmatic analysis and research process, such as modality, presupposition, implicature, implied meaning, context, and speech acts (oral and indirect). In this process, factors such as the speaker and listener are also utilized and cited when necessary. Simultaneously, this application has allowed the thesis to analyze and explain, to some extent, specific content related to the meaning of emphatic particles that are often difficult to grasp and explain in detail.
