| مستخلص: | This study used corpus-based methodology to analyze what, if any, differences exist in the linguistic complexity of EdD and PhD dissertations in Educational Leadership. The study is conceptually framed around language variation within discipline and genre. The corpus created for this study, DISSCORP, was comprised of 200 dissertations, 100 EdD and 100 PhD, completed in educational leadership in 2017 and 2018 randomly selected from ProQuest. The syntactic complexity and lexical richness of the two sub-corpora were compared through multiple statistical measures. Adding to the growing body of research on the EdD and PhD, this study found no significant differences between the EdD and PhD dissertations in linguistic complexity. Since the two degrees are equal in complexity, and prior research has found few if any content differences, this researcher ultimately concludes that merging the two terminal degrees into one professional doctorate in Educational Leadership is the best solution to end the confusion surrounding the two degrees.
