11. Summary of new results of the thesis:
Researching on dependent conjunctions in Vietnamese from the perspective of functional grammar, the thesis has presented the characteristics of dependent conjunctions in Vietnamese, thereby establishing a system of dependent conjunctions in Vietnamese including 103 dependent conjunctions as the research object of the thesis.The typical roles of dependent conjunctions in Vietnamese on three levels: semantics, semantics, and pragmatics have been pointed out and described in detail by the thesis. Specifically:
On the academic level, the dependent conjunction is a connecting element and represents the main and secondary grammatical relationship in the structure of phrases, sentences and texts; it is an element that marks the syntactic functions of adverbs, subjects, complements, and determiners; it can take on the role of a conjunction - an isolated component of a sentence. In particular, the thesis has shown that in the case of Vietnamese relational sentences, the dependent conjunction can take on the role of a predicate - one of the two main components of a sentence.
On the semantic level, dependent conjunctions can take on the role of predicates in relational situations, actively participating in introducing and marking the presence of various types of participants (semantic roles). A dependent conjunction can introduce and mark many different types of participants, and a type of participant can be introduced and marked by many dependent conjunctions. Dependent conjunctions are also a means of expressing subjective modal meaning, expressing the speaker's quantitative and qualitative assessments of the situation reflected in the sentence.
On the pragmatic level, the subordinating conjunction plays the role of a conclusion in the argument, actively participating in introducing and connecting the argument components: the basis and the conclusion in simple argument forms, including arguments with only one basis and arguments with more than one basis (homogeneous arguments, anti-homogeneous arguments). For the topic-thesis structure, the subordinating conjunction is a means of marking the pragmatic function.subject, post-subject, join the sectiontheoryand connect the elements in the sectiontheory.
12. Practical application:
The thesis can be used as a reference in research, internal comparison of Vietnamese dependent conjunctions, and at the same time contribute to supporting the work of compiling dictionaries and tool books. The research results also provide suggestions in understanding and using Vietnamese dependent conjunctions flexibly and effectively in sentence construction, text and communication.
13. Further research directions:
The role of Vietnamese subordinating conjunctions in language action, information structure, implied meaning, etc. at the pragmatic level has not yet been shown in the thesis. This could be the next research on subordinating conjunctions in the future.

11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:
Research onthe dependent relational words in Vietnamese from the perspective of functional grammar, vhe thesis has outlined the characteristics of gettingdependent relational wordsin Vietnamese, from there, has established the system ofdependent relational wordsin Vietnamese including 103dependent relational wordsThis system ofdependent relational wordsis the research object of the thesis.Typical roles of dependent relational words in Vietnamese on three aspects: syntactic, semantics and pragmatics have been presented and described particularly. Namely:
On the aspect ofsyntactic, thedependent relational wordsis the factor that connects and denotes secondary main grammatical relations in the structure of phrases, sentences and texts; it is the factor that marks the syntactic positions: adverbial, topical phrase, object, determiner; it can undertake an independent part of the sentence. In particular, the thesis has shown that for the case of Vietnamese relational sentences, thedependent relational wordscan take on the position of a predicate - one of the two main components of the sentence.
On the aspect of semantics,thedependent relational words can take on a prime role in relationships, actively participate in the introduction and mark the presence of all kinds of arguments (meaning roles). A dependent relational word may introduce and mark many different types of arguments and a type of argument may be introduced and marked by many dependent relational words. The dependent relational words are also a means to express subjective status, indicating assessments of quantity and quality of the speaker for a situation reflected in a sentence.
On the pragmatic aspect,thedependent relational wordstake on a collusion role in reasoning, actively participate in introducing and connecting the components of argument: arguments and conclusions in simple form of reasoning, including reasoning with reasoning only one argument and reasoning with more than one argument (concurrent reasoning, contradictory). For the topic and comment structures,thedependent relational wordsare means of marking pragmatical functions such asTheme,Tail, participating in thecommentand connecting elements in thecomment.
12. Practical applicability, if any:
The thesis can be used as a reference in research and internal comparison onthedependent relational wordsin Vietnamese, and at the same time contribute to the compilation of dictionaries and tool books. The research results also provide suggestions for understanding and usagethedependent relational wordsin Vietnamese flexibly and effectively in creating sentences, texts and in communication.
13. Further research direction, if any:
The role of thedependent relational words in Vietnamesefor language action, information structure, implicit meaning, ... in pragmatics has not yet been shown in the thesis. These may be the follow-up studies on thedependent relational wordsin the future
