Abstract
The article is based on the theory of address terms used by characters in Vietnamese fairy tales, and conducts a survey and classification of these terms. Based on the results, a study was conducted on the explicit and implicit addresses used in the tales, analyzing the structural characteristics of five forms of address: personal pronouns, proper name nouns, kinship nouns, nouns indicating profession and position, and other forms of address. The results show that each form of address has a different structure and reflects different semantic features, such as respect for elders, people with status and authority, or gods, differentiation and positioning of characters in society, and emotions and solidarity among members of the community. Above all, these address terms reflect the culture of communication among the Vietnamese people.
