Spanish term

hipótesis planteada

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy Dissertation
3. HIPÓTESIS PLANTEADA, PROBLEMA O ARGUMENTACIÓN QUE SE QUIERE RESPONDER, ESTUDIAR O ANALIZAR

I am translating a doctoral dissertation. Not my field; I'm doing it for my oldest client, almost as a personal favor.

Is it as simple as "Raised hypothesis"?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know, Rachel. I've never translated a thesis before. I thought this might be a common field, or maybe standard terminology, as is the case with patents. I am at a loss here...
Rachel Fell Feb 11, 2017:
Wondering whether you couldn't just leave the "planteada" out, as any hypothesis etc. is understood to have been raised.

hypothesis presented

...
Or perhaps "proposed hypothesis", or even simply "hypothesis" on its own.

Thanks, Phil, yes, the problem with just "hypothesis" on its own is that it might be seen as part of a list: "HIPÓTESIS, PROBLEMA O ARGUMENTACIÓN..."
agree neilmac : Both good, although I usually prefer "proposed"....

hypothesis raised/put forth/proposed

I'd say any of these might work just fine in this context.

Hypothesis

For this instance, I would even use the word alone, as a hypothesis exists only when it is presented/raised/put forward or proposed.
