[Air-l] Ph.D. student is looking for a good home for his Thesis

[Suzana Sukovic]

In Australia we usually use the word 'thesis' for written work resulting 
from original research required for honours, masters by research and PhD. 
Collins dictionary and thesaurus show that 'thesis' and 'dissertation' are 
synonyms. Some other languages use words similar to 'dissertation' (derived 
from Lat dissertare) and 'thesis' as synonyms. DCA is a different thing, of 
course.
