The poetry collection “We fight for our long-lasting Viet Nam” is selected by Associate Prof. Dr. Luong Minh Cu. The poetry collection’s name has hinted at a generation of soldiers battling and writing poems. When reading the collection, we will get to know talented generals like Senior Lieutenant General Tran Van Tra, and Senior Lieutenant General Hoang Cam, who used to compose poems while directly commanding the battlefield. War is a harsh challenge in life, but war also toughened a generation of soldiers to become generals and poets. Each artist is a secretary of an era, then the poets wearing military uniforms are the secretaries of blood and flower, they combine the souls of their generations in the poems, remembering a time with everyone sacrificed for the country and two words: Viet Nam. Their poems are full of feelings and the soul’s delicacy in the beauty of the country and its people.
This is a theoretically oriented study of the pragmatics of Vietnamese person reference (kinship terms, personal pronouns, naming set and status terms). Drawing upon linguistic data from a radically different non-Western society and the seminal insights of Volosinov, Bakhtin, and Leach, it offers a critical analysis of the major theoretical premises of dominant approaches to denotation and connotation, to knowledge of language and to knowledge of the world. The study suggests that the pragmatic presuppositions of Vietnamese person-referring forms figure in the native definitions of linguistic meanings as prominently as any denotative features. It is argued that the significance of pragmatic implications should be analyzed in relation to the native speaker's conception of the world.
