VIETNAMESE LINGUISTICS OVER 30 YEARS OF RENOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT

Tóm tắt

 This paper provides an overview of the key innovations and developments in Vietnamese linguistics over the last three decades of Doi moi. During 30 years, Vietnamese linguistics has witnessed the integration, acquisition and creative application of theories and trends learnt from modern linguistics to Vietnam. A panorama of Vietnamese prominent fields, authors, and works is sketched out. New approaches, including functional grammar, generative grammar, pragmatics, socio-linguistics, cognitive linguistics, computational linguistics, and speech-language pathology, have been taken into Vietnamese linguistics. The paper documents the contributions of seminal works to development of the fields, from newly minted approaches such as appraisal framework to traditional topics such as stylistics and general linguistics.
