Es sind gerade zwei Bücher herausgekommen, die praktische Ratschläge für LinguistikstudenInnen bzw. angehende "Profis" beinhalten.
Ich habe bisher noch keins der Bücher in der Hand gehabt, aber die Ankündigungen aus der LinguistList bzw. auf den Seiten der Veralge klingen sehr gut.
Das erste Buch beschäftig sich damit, wie man Projekte wie z.B. Haus- oder Abschlußarbeiten plant:
Projects in Linguistics
Alison Wray, Aileen Bloomer
Nähere Infos gibt's unter folgender URL
http://www.hoddereducation.co.uk/Title/0...istics.htm
Daher stammt auch folgende Kurzbeschreibung:
"Projects in Linguistics is a unique and essential guide for anyone doing a research project in language and linguistics. With orientation overviews of the main areas of enquiry typically targeted by students, it offers practical help in identifying a topic, finding background reading, planning and designing a study, collecting and analysing data, and writing a convincing account.
With over 300 practical ideas for projects that can be used directly or adapted to suit different contexts and interests, and with chapters on how to reference and how to avoid plagiarism, Projects in Linguistics belongs on the bookshelf of every student studying language and linguistics. Aimed at undergraduates, it will also be invaluable to both pre-university and postgraduate students."
Das zweite Buch ist für allem für die geeignet, die Linguistik als ihre Berufung erkannt haben und eine wissenschaftlichje Karriere in diesem Gebiet anstreben:
Surviving Linguistics: A Guide for Graduate Students
Monica Macaulay
Die URL dieses Buches ist:
http://www.cascadilla.com/surviving.html
Auch dafür eine Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags:
"Surviving Linguistics offers linguistics students clear, practical, and focused advice on how to succeed in graduate school and earn a degree. The book is a valuable resource for students at any stage of their graduate career, from learning to write linguistics papers through completing their dissertation and finding a job. Along the way, the author explains the process of submitting conference abstracts, presenting papers at conferences, publishing journal articles, writing grant applications, creating a CV, and much more. Throughout Surviving Linguistics, Macaulay emphasizes the importance of working with advisors, dissertation committees, and fellow graduate students. The book includes exercises, helpful references to numerous books and on-line resources, and an index.
Although Macaulay focuses on North America in explaining the structure of graduate school and the process of applying for academic jobs, the advice in this book about writing and research in linguistics will be useful to linguistics students everywhere."
