[Lexicog] PhD in lexicography?

[Jan Allsopp]

I can understand your frustration.  I'm not promising to supervise you, but I am based at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus and I do run graduate programmes from MA to PhD in Lexicography.  I would however have to know what your topic is, how you're planning to work, whether by distance or on site, and how you would propose to finance your programme.  Let me know if you are interested and there could be further communication between us.

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!
