11. New findings of the dissertation

In this dissertation, the author uses major methodology as text study, survey, statistics, analysis and description to explore features about the structure, pragmatics of modern Chinese attributes. Then, we compare them with Vietnamese adjective attributes to find the similarities and differences between two languages.

12. Applicability in practice: Chinese visual terms and Vietnamese terminology have similarities and differences in terms of both grammar and semantics. In Vietnamese, adjective attributes and nouns do not have any supporting words, but in Chinese, the word "的" is used as a means of connecting, at times. There are also differences in expressions and word order. Within the scope of this thesis, we have identified the similarities and differences in terms of structure, semantics, and meanings between Chinese and Vietnamese expressions. Hopefully, the results of this research will be applied in the translation and teaching of Chinese.

13. Further research: 

This research chooses the modern Chinese attributes as a subject of survey, statistics, and analysis, and then, compares them with Vietnamese equivalents. Therefore, the research only analyzes the characteristics of the modern Chinese attributes and makes comparison with Vietnamese equivalents. We have not analyzed deeper characteristics of Vietnamese adjective attributes yet, so it is hard to say a comprehensive and equal analysis of this phenomenon in modern Chinese and Vietnamese was carried out. In the future, we will conduct a parallel study of Chinese and Vietnamese attributive phrases as well as an in-depth analysis and comparison. Thus, the rules of languages and cultural characteristics expressed in Chinese and Vietnamese will be more clarified.
