Hi,
My name is Wayne Yang. I am interested in doing an analysis on my ethnic
language--Hmong. During my study at Midwestern Baptist Theological
Seminary, I took the 2 required language courses--Greek & Hebrew. As we
went through the different aspects of grammar in each language, I was able
to also do a grammar analysis on the Hmong langauge as well in my own
time. I have most of the project done (at least I think I do). My goal
is to write a language analysis on the Hmong language.
I am writing you all to ask whether I should pursue a degree in
Linguistics or not. I have no other formal education in linguistics--my
undergraduate and graduate degrees are both in ministry-related fields.
Also, I've contemplated on whether I should go ahead and pursue my Ph.D.
or Masters in Linguistics or would it be better to get my Bachelors. I
really enjoy teaching on a post-secondary level, however, it doesn't seem
too exciting to me to be teaching linguistics even though I wouldn't mind
either.
Please help. I am going to graduate this spring and would like to start
next fall. That means I would need to take the GRE next month and apply
to the college immediately following that--not to mention preparations for
the GRE.
Also, any of you familiar with KU's school of linguistics? If so, what do
you think about their program and school?
Thank you. I would greatly appreciate it!
