In other
hand Webster’s New Collegiate in Neufville & Field (1998: 2), for example:
a thesis is “a proposition that a person advances and offers to maintain by
argument.” This deļ¬nition has three key elements. A thesis is a proposition: it
advances an idea, a hypothesis or a recommendation; A thesis offers an
argument: it presents a rationale for accepting the proposition made, rather
than simply asserting a point of view; and The argument of the thesis should be
maintained: it should be made convincingly by appropriate logic and sufficient
evidence.
