[Lexicog] PhD in lexicography?

I am sympathetic.  I was not able to find an advisor for a PhD in historical
linguistics three decades back

and ended up in comparative linguistics-a synchronic study, rather than a
diachronic one.  I should have 

continued with Professor Pei at Columbia or Professor Dassonville at Texas
but fate did not allow me to do

so.  You might consider checking the editors list at Merriam-Webster or
similar top dictionary publishers 

to see who is established in the field.

 

If you are young enough, mobile enough, and persistent enough, you should
get your wish.

 

N. Scott Catledge

hi! :) where do you study? and will it be fine if your "supervisor" is from
the philippines? :)

wish I could further my study as a Ph.D. student in lexicography, however,
finding a suitable supervisor is much more difficult than I expected. Some
scholars whose research interests listed on the websites cover lexicography
refused me by saying lexicography is not their major research interests or
even suggested that I'd better change my research orientation in order to
get more chances. What can I do now? Do I have to abandon my dream and
change my research orientation? Who can help me? Thank you very much!
