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 Dassonv ill e 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.

I took a two years' M.A. program of Lexicography in China and fell in love with it. I 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!
