"Literacy in Premodern Vietnamese: the Case of Bilingual Dictionary NHẬT DỤNG THƯỜNG ĐÀM by Phạm Đình Hổ" is a specialized work by Associate Professor Trần Trọng Dương, focusing on one of the most notable bilingual dictionaries in the history of Vietnamese language and education. The author not only presents, translates, and annotates Nhật dụng thường đàm but also situates it within the broader context of lexicography and Sino–Vietnamese cultural exchange. Through an analysis of its structure, content, and significance, the book highlights how Vietnamese scholars engaged with Chinese knowledge, language, and culture while creatively localizing them in the Vietnamese context. This study offers valuable materials for understanding the evolution of lexicography, historical linguistics, and the enduring scholarly heritage of Vietnam.
