Summary of the results of the thesis: The thesis in which there are the survey, description of 857 datas to identify the structure of the combination syntax in the language of preschool children (4 -5 years old). Research results show the abundance of syntax combinations. Among the syntax combinations, single syntax combination accounts for the largest proportion. However, it is the complex syntax combination that has the most diversity of expression. This is a type of syntax combination “sub-syntax overlapped in the syntax”. In addition, preschool children use a bit lot of syntax combinations of coordinated compounds and as well principal and accessory compounds. However, with the form of compound syntax, children often do not pay attention to the use of words functioning to link or they do not even use the main components in the latter clause (with symptom of omission). Therefore, preschool children still create uncompleted dialogues of grammar structures, the meaning is still ambiguous. From a semantic point of view, the fact is likely to express very richly in the syntax combinations. The situation may be the most complete expression in the form (the core of sentences, a clause of compound sentence) or may be omitted participating elements (the predicate elements are the verbs, adjectives, etc.). Besides, the children often shift the situation in the syntax combinations. Not only there is diversity in the content of situation but in the syntax combinations, roles of meaning are also redundant that is also very rich, with 11 meaning roles. In terms of the modality, the syntax combination of children is often expressed in the following states: list, report, opposition, option, increasing with several means of expression of different modalities. Step to 4 – 5 years old, the children have huge demand in the presentation of their thoughts, emotions ... with the surrounding people. One of them is that the children use argument relations to convince the listener. In argument, the children can make one or three foundations to lead to the conclusion in the mind of the children. In which, there are some explicit conclusions and implicit conclusions. One of the special features in the syntax combination of preschool children is to start to create implicature to improve the efficiency of communication. With the "willfulness" of violating the rules of language, the children have used the syntax combination to serve their thoughts, actions, emotions, of which, the most prominent implicature helped the children achieve critical and begged actions ... without speaking directly. 11. Applicability in practice: - Can be applied to the provision for preschool student teachers of preschool education on the status using the syntax combination in preschoolers. - Can be applied to the provision for preschool teachers with the real situation of the use of the syntax combination of the children. From that, the preschool teachers will select measures to help children use more fluently grammatical patterns and help children learn to express their coherent thoughts. For example, measures: 12. Further research directions: - The syntax combination study in the language of preschool children (3-6 years old). - Research measures to help preschool children use the syntax combinations effectively and exactly in order to help children develop coherent language. 13.
