Dissertation
All students are responsible for original research and study on a topic that has been approved by their dissertation committee and reviewed by the Graduate Studies Committee. A completed Dissertation should be between 200-400 pages in length, exclusive of works cited/bibliography. The dissertation should be defended in the student's fourth year.
For details on the integrated dissertation format, consult the department guidelines .
The dissertation proceeds in two stages:
- The student submits a dissertation proposal, and defends it as part of the comprehensive exam process.
- The student writes, defends, and submits the dissertation.
Details of these stages are below.
Dissertation Proposal
Students must arrange for a supervisor and a dissertation committee, from members of the faculty, and under their guidance prepare a proposal. The final draft of the proposal must be submitted (in digital form) with the signed proposal form (PDF) to the Support Services Coordinator by by the date announced in that year's exam schedule.
Students must arrange for a supervisor and a dissertation committee, from members of the faculty, and under their guidance prepare a proposal. A draft of the proposal must be submitted to the committee by the date indicated in that year’s comprehensive exam schedule , normally during the Fall term (term 4 in the program). The final draft of the proposal must be submitted to the Support Services Coordinator two weeks after the written exam (normally in May), at which point a proposal defence will be scheduled.
A dissertation proposal should contain an overview of the entire project of approximately 1000 words, a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of approximately another 1500 words, and a bibliography (of no fixed word count) of both primary and secondary texts. It should include first-page headings with your name, your supervisor’s name, your committee members’ names, and a title. Sections should be clearly signaled with subheads and blank space. Pages should be numbered.
The total word count should not exceed 3000 words , exclusive of bibliography.
The purpose of the document is to illustrate to the candidate's supervisory committee, and to the Graduate Studies Committee, preparedness to begin writing the dissertation. The supervisory committee and the Graduate Studies Committee will provide the candidate with feedback about the project’s feasibility and the coherence of its research goals. Students should submit a complete draft to their supervisory committee by the date announced in that year's exam schedule, and set a date for the review meeting, allowing time for revision (if necessary).
A dissertation proposal should outline the project's major research goals and the corpus of texts or objects to be considered. The proposal should thoroughly contextualize the project within its scholarly domain(s). It is not, however, primarily a literature review.
After Submission
When the proposal is complete, the student submits it to the graduate office for review by the Graduate Studies Committee, by the date indicated in the comprehensive exam schedule. The second half of the comprehensive oral exam is dedicated to the dissertation proposal. This consists of a discussion, and questions, about the proposal and the student’s plans for the dissertation. At the defence, the proposal is assigned one of three outcomes:
- Conditional pass (with conditions and resubmission deadline indicated)
Once the proposal has been successfully defended, approved proposals and the signed proposal form (PDF) are submitted to the graduate office and the student begins drafting the dissertation.
Failure to submit a proposal results in the loss of satisfactory standing and may result in the termination of internal funding. If the student fails the proposal portion of the comprehensive exam process, the committee will determine the next steps, in consultation with the Graduate Officer. Usually, this means that the “proposal defence” portion of the oral exam will needs to be attempted a second time. Exam components can be attempted at most twice.
Sample Dissertation Proposals
Dissertation Proposal Example 1 (PDF)
Dissertation Proposal Example 2 (PDF)
The dissertation should be defended in the student's fourth year. When the student has completed a defensible draft, (s)he submits the abstract (in digital form) to the English Graduate Officer with the notification that (s)he is ready to defend, and sends an electronic copy of the dissertation and abstract to the English Graduate Office. Simultaneously, the supervisor submits a list of five candidates each for the External and Internal-External members of the committee. Once these committee members are secured and approved by the Associate Dean of Arts, Graduate Studies, a defense is scheduled.
Defence Guidelines
- The supervisory committee must approve a final version of the dissertation.
The supervisor must contact the Graduate Officer in order to set up the defence committee. The supervisor must provide the Graduate Officer with the following:
a list of 5 candidates for the role of internal/external examiner (including department, email address, a line or two on suitability, and a statement concerning any professional or personal connection)
a list of 5 candidates for the role of external examiner (including institutional affiliation, email address, a line or two on suitability, and a statement concerning any professional or personal connection)
the dissertation abstract
The candidate must provide an electronic copy of the dissertation to the Graduate Studies Coordinator.
Once the Associate Dean approves the committee, a date and time will be set for the defence, no earlier than five weeks after the dissertation goes on public display.
Please note that the five-week display period means 25 business days—not including University holidays, black-out periods, or weekends; the blackout periods generally consist of the Christmas break, the last week of August, and university reading breaks.
Things to note during the black-out periods:
- Dissertation defences are not scheduled during this time.
- The mandatory five-week display period will not be affected by the black-out periods.
- All administration and paperwork will continue to be processed during this time.
- For more details, consult the Faculty of Arts doctoral dissertation procedures .
Publishing Instructions
Once completed and approved, the dissertation must be submitted to UWSpace for publishing.
Submission Information
- Review the instructions for submitting your dissertation to UWSpace.
- Dissertations submitted to UWSpace will be reviewed within 3 to 5 business days of the GSO receiving your 'Thesis Acceptance' form from your Faculty/department.
Submission Process
- Submit 1 copy of your dissertation (.pdf format only) and any supplementary files to UWSpace for review by the GSO.
- You will be contacted by email after a review has taken place to advise you of any revisions that must be made prior to final approval.
- If revisions are required, your dissertation must be resubmitted to UWSpace.
- You will be contacted by email once your dissertation submission is approved.
- Retain a copy of the GSO/UWSpace approval email to submit to wPrint if paper copies of your dissertation are required. An alternate printing service is pageforpage.com .
- The department does not require hard copies of your dissertation.

Graduate Studies offers many electronic dissertation resources , including a word template, which are helpful for both students and supervisors.

English Language Dissertation Topics
English students are bright and highly creative. This means they tend to come up with brilliant ideas!
So, coming up with a dissertation topic should be easy, right?
Well, not necessarily.
Coming up with a topic can be stressful so you might try to avoid it. Alternatively, you might have hundreds of great ideas, but not know which one to settle on.
If that’s the case, then don’t worry. This article is here to help you move forward with choosing a topic for your dissertation – so let’s get started!
Sociolinguistics Dissertation Topics
Coming up with a topic, applied linguistics dissertation topics.
- Critical Perspectives for Language Students
Sociolinguistics is one of the most interesting aspects of English studies, especially in our modern, globalised world. Put simply, sociolinguistics is concerned with how social/cultural norms shape language. Since we are becoming increasingly globalised, there is a debate as to whether our culture and language systems are converging or diverging. Of course, there is no straightforward answer to this debate, and there is still much to learn about the link between society, culture, and language. Here are a few dissertation topics in sociolinguistics to get you started.
- Mapping the diachronic development of Disney Princesses: How is language used to portray femininity?
- ‘Well jel’!’ A sociolinguistic analysis of The Only Way is Essex.
- Are accents still being used to create alterity? A review of blockbuster films from 2019-2020. ‘
- Mapping second-generation immigrants’ usage of English within the family: When and Why?
- Politeness and official address (e.g., Sir, Madam, Teacher): A comparison between the UK and China.
- How do employees use and lose power in workplace meetings? A sociolinguistic analysis.
- Do males speak more frequently than females? A review of university seminars.
- Hedges in everyday speech: Why are we so uncertain?
- A sociolinguistic analysis of advertising for vegan products.
- A diachronic sociolinguistic analysis of cosmetics reviews 1950 – 2020.
- Polite participles in everyday speech: Is it a class thing?
- Building rapport via video conferencing: How does it differ from real-life?
- Analysing humour between native and non-native English speakers: How is it manifested?
- The language of love: universal or locally specific?
- A sociolinguistic analysis of comic book villains.
- The diachronic evolution of questioning.
Coming up with your own topic is no easy feat. Above all, it’s important to find a topic that interests you!
If you are an overseas student, you might find it interesting to compare language between the UK and your own country, for example.
So, let’s say you’re from China…
Research from Kaplan (1966) shows that native English speakers prefer to use deductive forms of discourse, whereas Chinese EFL speakers prefer inductive forms of discourse.
However, this research is quite out of date, and since many Chinese people have become English language learners since 1966 (and many now live in the UK), you might question whether this difference still persists…
And there you have it! A curious ‘gap’ in the literature that you can fill with your dissertation.
Need help coming up with a great dissertation topic? Our expert writers are on hand to assist.
The field of language and linguistics is sometimes accused of being a bit ‘abstract’. But, in truth, linguistics can be applied to the real world, and these applications hold a great degree of significance, not only for language learning but for wider society. That said, if you’re a practical and solutions-focused person, you might enjoy working on an applied linguistics dissertation. Here are a few titles to inspire you:
- Children’s adoption of intensifying adverbs: How early should it be encouraged?
- Becoming a non-native teacher of English: Key challenges and opportunities.
- Delivering safety training to non-native English speakers – How to test comprehension?
- Pre-school language formation: Should we actively seek to neutralise gender differences?
- Online language learning during COVID-19: Opportunities and challenges.
- Telling my story: Refugees’ journeys through language learning and resettlement.
- Supporting translators in mental health settings – does more need to be done?
- How to teach syntax? A critical review of the approaches.
- Collaborative writing in the ESL classroom.
- The role of ‘active reflection’ in ESL teaching and learning.
Critical Perspectives for Language Students
As part of your degree, you have probably come across critical theories such as Feminism, Postcolonialism, and Race Theory. If that’s the case, you could choose to draw upon one or more of these critical theories in your dissertation. Here are just a few titles to consider:
- How is language used to portray Disney heroes and heroines? A feminist perspective.
- Are job adverts fair and equal? A critical race theory perspective.
- English as the lingua Franca: Exploring the effects on indigenous populations.
- ‘Welcome back to my channel’ How are women creating identities and communities on YouTube? A feminist perspective.
Hopefully, this post has given you a bit of inspiration, but if you’re still feeling stuck then don’t worry! Try some of our top tips for coming up a great English dissertation topic:
- Look back over your degree – which assignment scored the highest? Which assignment was most interesting to you? This would be a good place to start!
- Have a brainstorming session with the friends on your course.
- Contact our PhD Writers today and we’ll provide you with some unique and interesting topics to choose from.
