After four years working on the thesis and one year of waiting for it to be read, Caroline Linyor Tata epouse Bawe Mohamadu, on Friday, June 12, 2020, in the Department of African Languages and Linguistics of the University of Yaounde I, successfully defended a Doctor of Philosophy, PhD thesis in Applied Linguistics.
With the title, "Critical Discourse Analysis In Abstract Dissertation," the 446-page work was awarded a "Mention très honorable" (or 18 over 20) grade after a defence that lasted three and half hours.
The topic was on writing abstracts for Master's degree dissertations, with case studies in Applied Linguistics from four Cameroonian universities - Yaounde I, Buea, Dschang and Douala - during the period 2011 to 2017.
An abstract presents a concise view of a work, making it easy for readers to have a clear idea of what it is all about," Dr Caroline Linyor Tata epouse Bawe Mohamadu told Cameroon Tribune at the end of the defence.
