1 Rationale

Researching the characteristics of verbal introduction and introduction contributes to the study of the selection of languageexpressions in the use of Vietnamese people to suit the language-cultural-social characteristics At each communication area, theinformal and non-formal communication context of introductoryspeech and self-introduction have different expressions Therefore, this

self-is an self-issue of concern in Vietnam in the context of the impact ofincreasingly strong intercultural and linguistic factors from abroad.Words of introduction and self-introduction appear regularly in allareas of life and become a research content of learning StudyingVietnamese language of communication in specific areas will shedlight on the characteristics of Vietnamese language introduction andintroduction At the same time the survey results related to English data

in similar contexts will help reinforce the research results So far,according to our initial understanding, there have been almost no in-depth, systematic studies of these spoken behaviors Therefore, weconducted a research project entitled "Verbal introduction and self-introduction in Vietnamese (with reference to English) to fill this gap

CHAPTER 1 LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL

BACKGROUND 1.1 Literature review

1.1.1 Previous studies in the world

There are no specialized works on verbal introduction and self-introduction expressions , only some authors such as Emily Post, Nagesh Belludi, John Corcoran, Jo Bryant, Pamela Martin, etc write about introducing and self-introducing of some common communication situations Nguyen Quang (2017), in "Ways of expression", the author gives quite specific expressions of specific language behaviors by groups such as greeting and sharing (greeting and taking leave), showing affection and attitude feeling (showing feeling and attitude) in which, introduction and asking for introduction is in the greeting and taking leave Nguyen Quang gave

85 introductory speech expressions (introduction, self-introduction)

in the formal and non-formal context These are very useful expressions, high school use, which helps us make comparisons and suggestions in our research process About self-introduction, besides some expressions of Nguyen Quang, self-introduction expressions are only on some online newspapers at a simple level with only specific expressions.

1.1.2 Previous studies in Vietnam

In Vietnam, there are three research directions of verbal introductionand self-introduction but there are only a few studies in a narrow range.The first, some studies in the direction of pointing out speech patterns,corresponding to the expressions of verbal introduction and self-introduction in Vietnamese and English as Thai Duy Bao (1988); NguyenVan Lap (1989); The second, applying the theory of linguistic behavior ofAustin and Searle, a number of studies on introductory behavior areconducted within a dissertation such as Do Thi Mai Huong (2009), HoangMinh Hang (2011) The third, some studies in social linguistics like thereseach of Khuc Thi Hanh (2015)

1.2 Theoretical bases

1.2.1 Some issues of communication

Communication is a process of exchanging information, ideas, thoughts, feelings and emotions through words, signals, writing, or attitudes During communication, the sender (encoder) encrypts a message and then uses an intermediate channel to send it

to the recipient (decoder) that decodes that message and after the information is processed Then send feedback / reply using intermediate channel.

In communication there are forms: Based on communication means there are two types of communication in words and nonverbal communication Verbal communication (verbal communication) including verbal communication and written communication; nonverbal communication includes oral communication (paralanguage) and extralanguage communication.

In communication, users constantly choose language (language choice) in any aspect of language such as phonetics, grammar, vocabulary, etc Each small change in a certain dimension will create a profound meaning Language choice takes place subjectively by the communicator (strategic choice) but can also happen unconsciously (contextual choice) Three outstanding features of language selection are variability, negotiation and adaptability.

Communication factors play an important role in creating speeches in each communication event The views of pragmatics and linguistics of communication factors mentioned by the authors such as Do Huu Chau point to three factors in communication: context, language and discourse According to the school research perspective of social linguistics, Saville-Troike (1986) offers twelve factors Nguyen Quang (2002) offers fourteen factors to suit cultural linguistic communities that tend to be group-oriented and highly religious.

Speech event has developed a model to promote discourse analysis as a series of communication and linguistic behaviors in a cultural context The structure of the first letters of these terms consists of 8 elements that are abbreviated in 8 letters to

SPEAKING, namly 1/Setting and scence (S) : context ofcommunication including scene and school voice The setting showsthe time and place of a linguistic behavior that takes place, speaking ingeneral, specific physical situations "Setting points to the time andplace of an act and, in general, to the physical cirumstances ” The fieldvoice (Scene) refers to the psychological situation "psychologicalsetting" or the "culture definition" cultural limit of this communicationactivity (such as the formal-informal field); 2 / Communicationparticipant / participants (participants, P): Participants hold four roles

as addressor, speaker (speaker), speaker (addressee), listener (hearer); 3/ End (E): The purpose of communication is the outcome achievedaccording to the expected expectations of the participants' personalcommunication and purpose, derived from two aspects, that is theresults include predictable results and unpredictable results; Goals,goals in general and personal goals; 4 / Acts sequence (A): Sequence ofbehavior indicating form (form) and sequence (order) ofcommunication ; 5 / Key(K): The method of expressing only intonation(tone), manner (spirit) (spirit) contained in such information as: light-hearted; serious; clear, precise; pedantic; mocking (mocking); sarcastic(sarcastic); pompous, etc Expressions can use language to express, canalso use non-verbal behavior, such as posture, emotional expression,etc As can be seen, the same content, but using differentcommunication styles, the implication of communication may bedifferent; 6 / Instrumentalities (I): Means of communication channelssuch as speaking, writing, telegraphy, etc or forms (common language,dialect, language); 7 / Norms (N): Norm of interaction belongs to thespeaker, and norm of interpretation belongs to the listener To be morespecific, the speaker must choose the appropriate language tocommunicate with, but the listener must try to explain the speech in thesame common framework.; 8 / Genre (G): the genre refers to the type

of linguistic forms such as monologue, conversation, poetry, proverbs,idioms, riddles, sermons

/ presentations, prayer cards, lessons lecture, editorial Each category will suit each specific communication case In each communication community, each ethnic group has its own language

rules for each type This classification is very effective and really powerful in analyzing different types of discourse when using expressions

1.2.2. Speech acts

1.2.2.1.Definition of speech acts

People use language to perform many different activities in communication As can be seen, the behaviors shown are extremely diverse and they are collectively referred to as labor contracts The theory of linguistic behavior was initiated and supplemented

by Austin (1962), developed by Searl (1969) in the direction of learning (pragmatics) Austin's core idea of linguistic behavior is when I say, ( ) I do Speech is like other human behaviors, except that this is the kind of behavior that is done in words, "it causes some change in reality and affects the receiving object".

1.2.2.2.Kinds of speech acts

Austin thinks that, in a certain context, a specific sentence is said to carry out three actions simultaneously:

(i) Locutionary act: is the act of using linguistic elements such as words, phonetics and structure in a certain way to create a one- finished product both in form and content.

In the introduction and self-introduction in Vietnamese and English, the iilocutionary act is expressed as follows:

(ii) illocutionary act is “a performance of an act in saying something” [42, p 99] When we say that we have exhibited behaviors such as announcements, orders, warnings, commitments, etc., there is a certain conventional force (informing, ordering, warning, undertaking utterances) which has a certain force For example: When first meeting and getting to know the three people:

(1) I would like to introduce myself, my name is Nguyen Van A (2) Please introduce me, this is Mr Nguyen Van B.

When the speaker's speech ends, it is also time for the speaker to complete the introduction and self-introduction In the three types of behavior mentioned above, behavior in words is the object of grammar and the introduction and self-introduction behavior in this dessertation belongs to the word behavior.

The verbal behaviors when spoken have a certain effect, ie they cause a language response corresponding to them at the recipient Considering (1), the listener can respond with a statement: "Yes, hello I am Nguyen Van B ”or “ Thank you for your introduction ” Considering (2), the listener can respond with a statement: "Yes, I greet you, my name is Nguyen Van B" According to Austin, speech acts includes:

(1) direct speech acts are appropriate behavior between the effect of behavior in words and the form of words used to represent them Thus, direct referral behavior is a statement that uses the verb

"introduction" to express information to the listener about someone For example:

We would like to introduce Mr Truong Thi Mai, Member of the Politburo, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Head of the Central Committee for Public Relations.

(2) Indirect behavior (indirect speech) is an act done indirectly by following the word of an act at another direct word Thus, the indirect referral behavior is the act of providing basic information about someone who does not have the introductory grammatical verb, but by other acts For example:

Attending the inaugural event today were leaders, ministries, central agencies, Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue provinces.

Behavior in words with its validity has become the subject of major interest in pragmatics Introducing behavior belongs to the behavioral group in words.

(iii) Perlocutionary act: is the behavior when the speaker wants to make an effect outside the language of the listener when the speaker deliberately creates information, psychological effects, emotions, and attention comments from listeners / readers For example: MC: And the 3rd person let's get acquainted with the television audience.

TS: Yes, hello, my audience is Pham Minh Hieu from the General Department of Customs, I am currently 25 years old, not yet married Thank you.

MC: I don't understand why Mr Hieu introduced me without a family here Yes, thank you for taking the time to come and choose the right price [Price is right, 2015]

1.2.3 Performative utterance, performative expression and performative verb

a Performative utterance

According to Nguyen Duc Dan, "micro-speeches are statements that express linguistic behaviors Micro-linguistic statements are also called micro-expressions "

According to Do Huu Chau, "Micro-language development

is a product of a word-for-word behavior when this behavior is done directly Thanks to the grammatical expression we can recognize the

vi language ” Play the vi language heterogeneous with the micro expressions The minimum micro-language development is a statement that only has a phonetic expression.

b Grammatical expressions

Grammatical expressions are the speech patterns that characterize a behavior in words Grammatical expression is a grammatical sign of the semantics of a species behavior and is marked by a sentence structure, by word, by intonation of the relations between elements in the predicate structure - can be collectively referred to as phonetic signs.

c Performative verb

The phonetic verb is the verb that holds the function of expressing a linguistic behavior, when the verb verb is finished, the linguistic behavior has been carried out and the content of the behavior is shown in the next part of the dynamic from that.

Each behavior at the word, in addition to the verb, also has other grammatical signs These are grammatical structures and logical words - certain semantics Example: When introducing people to family members

Middle-aged male 2: This is my wife named Lien, my name isHuyen.

Middle-aged male 1: Looks like two sisters.

Although there is no introductory verb, the listener still understands this is an introduction.

1.2.4 Introduction and self-introduction

Formal speech is a tool that is used in an instrumental manner, according to the authority, according to an institutional process such as meeting, meeting, negotiating common communication problems that are predetermined , the information is also considered by the subjects (who know little or each other), high accuracy information In communicating the rules of the rules of polite principles, conventions and principles are attached when giving messages to ensure solemnity and objectivity The language used ensures accuracy, correct pronunciation, no slang and slang language Outside of society, this type of communication often takes place in meetings (businesses, unions), conferences, meetings at public places or in the media and newspapers according to authority for authority levels; at the celebration, awarded and received the honor of the State, Government, State diplomatic aspects Scope and objects are state agencies, political organizations, political - social organizations, social organizations, social - professional organizations, economic organizations, armed forces units people operating in the country territory; always show consistency,

solemnity, science and efficiency The scope of family, family and formal communication is also used in rituals, rituals such as happy life, marriage, funerals, family meetings, family names, birthdays, etc.

Informal speech is not social, stylish but requires ordinary, simple and just ordinary conversations that are natural and comfortable; can be used for every role of communication, with all kinds of relationships from strange, friendly to humble Communicating in this way is often family members (know each other, have close relationships), friends (know each other intimate or unfriendly) are both out-of-society and in the family in life activities Words of use are varied according to the level of government Language and gestures using diverse levels of government and communication will help build relationships in society.

1.2.4.2 Definition of introduction and

self-introduction a Definition of self-introduction

"Introduction" is a common behavior and plays an important role in human communication From a study perspective, the introduction

is a micro-verb In Vietnamese and English, introductory behavior can be expressed by linguistic expressions containing the phonetic verb and the expression without the verb verb.

In Vietnamese and English introduced (introduction) is defined withmany different levels and with many objects (people, things, things)

We would like to introduce the introductory definitions of people andintroduce them to what they will do in the scope of their research.According to the Oxford dictionary, the introduction is referred to

as "introducing the names of those who first met, introduced themselves".

According to the Cambridge dictionary, the introduction means:

1 / tell the listener about the name of someone who first met 2 / tell the listener about someone who will do something like speak, sing

In the popular Vietnamese dictionary (Nguyen Nhu Y, 1998) defines the introductory behavior as "showing some characteristics for people to recognize Example: introduce guests ”

According to the Vietnamese dictionary (Hoang Phe, Bien, 2010), the introduction is to know some things to know such as their name, occupation, position, etc About someone to start getting to know each other Example: Introduce you Please introduce yourself Thai Duy Bao (1989) defines an introduction as "Behavior of telling people new things about a certain object (person) or about the speaker himself (introducing himself)".

From the definitions in English and Vietnamese, the introduction includes introduction and self-introduction In the thesis, we study separate introductory and self-introduction words to show the specific characteristics of each behavior.

Thus, introductory speech is an act in which people use words to introduce someone (one person to one person, one person to many people, many people to one person, many people come to many people) in the first meeting or introduction based on a specific purpose (introduction to inform, introduction to do something, etc.) based on common uses, according to the common language standards of society.

b Definition of self-introduction

According to Vietnamese Dictionary (Nguyen Nhu Y editor), proclaimed also has 3 meanings: 1 / Introduce your name and background 2 / Assign yourself a title, a certain personality 3 / Self-proclaimed and declared to everyone his noble title.

From the above definition, it is understandable that the introduction is a verbal act (behavior in words) where people introduce themselves to others when they first meet in common ways It is considered to be the standard of society, sometimes there are specific characteristics of each individual communicating.

self-Summary of Chapter 1

Chapter 1 has studied the situation of research on introduction and self-introduction, at the same time identifying and presenting the theoretical basis of the dessertation topic

CHAPTER 2 CHARACTERISTICS OF FORMAL VERBAL INTRODUCTION AND SELF-INTRODUCTION IN VIETNAMESE (WITH

REFERENCE TO ENGLISH) 2.1 Introduction

In Vietnamese and English: collected from 814 dialogues / dialogues introducing the rules in 122 events in the range of social politics and entertainment scope.

2.2 Characteristics of formal introduction and self-introduction in the scope of socio-politics (with reference to English)

2.2.1 The formulae of formal introduction and self-introduction

expressions in the scope of socio-politics

In Vietnamese: Mainly using direct expressions, accounting for 82.5% In particular, the expression lacks subject, communication object has the highest utilization rate (60%) In the scope of this study, Vietnamese does not have a complete expression Contact with English: the survey shows conflicting trends There is no missing expression that lacks subject and communication object The rate of using indirect expressions accounted for the highest of 91.5%.
