This study examines the formative models that shape Vietnamese diplomatic terminology at the word and phrase levels. Influenced by both native linguistic patterns and Sino-Vietnamese elements, these terms often exhibit two-element structures. The research identifies key models for compound words and multi-element phrases, which enable precise diplomatic communication. These findings deepen the understanding of the linguistic adaptability of Vietnamese in diplomacy and its role in fostering effective cross-cultural exchanges.
