The Faculty of Linguistics, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, cordially invites faculty members, researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates to attend a Research Talk entitled "A New Study on the Localization of Sino-Vietnamese Words", presented by Prof. Dr. Vũ Đức Nghiệu—one of the leading scholars in the field of Vietnamese historical linguistics.

This talk will present Professor Nghiệu’s latest findings on the phenomenon of localized Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary, referring to the process by which Chinese-origin words, upon entering Vietnamese, not only retain certain phonetic features but also undergo semantic, syntactic, and usage transformations to better align with the native Vietnamese linguistic system. His research sheds new light on the localization of Chinese linguistic elements in the evolution of the Vietnamese language, while also opening pathways for interdisciplinary inquiries bridging linguistics, cultural studies, and Han-Nom philology.

📅 Time: 14:00, Wednesday, June 4, 2025
📍 Venue: Room 307, Building E, University of Social Sciences and Humanities,
336 Nguyễn Trãi Street, Thanh Xuân District, Hanoi
