English Language Final Year Topic: Presupposition in Nigerian English Property Advertisements

This English Language final year project investigates how property advertisements present assumptions about buyers and locations, drawing on a dated corpus of publicly accessible English property advertisements. The analysis focuses on language in its communicative context.

Why choose this project topic?

An examination of how property advertisements present assumptions about buyers and locations produces a manageable language question with observable evidence. It lets you connect English-language concepts to particular communicative choices instead of making unsupported judgments about speakers.

What patterns emerge in how property advertisements present assumptions about buyers and locations within a dated corpus of publicly accessible English property advertisements?

Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how property advertisements present assumptions about buyers and locations; confirm access before fixing the title.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how property advertisements present assumptions about buyers and locations.
  2. 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from a dated corpus of publicly accessible English property advertisements.
  3. 03Identify presupposition triggers and distinguish implied assumptions from explicit factual claims.

A suggested research approach

Agree access and selection criteria for a dated corpus of publicly accessible English property advertisements. Identify presupposition triggers and distinguish implied assumptions from explicit factual claims. Pilot the annotation scheme, retain examples that challenge initial categories and report disagreements. Obtain institutional approval and informed consent before collecting participant data.

What you will need

  • Permitted access to a dated corpus of publicly accessible English property advertisements
  • An annotation guide covering how property advertisements present assumptions about buyers and locations
  • A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval

Keep your project scope clear

Advertising assumptions do not verify property ownership, availability or neighbourhood conditions.
