Research Writing in Linguistics

3 credits · Graduate credit

This course is designed for second-year graduate students who are working on their Qualifying Research Papers (QRPs). It is intended to provide structure to the process of writing the QRP, plus opportunities to present and receive feedback on work-in-progress. Because the QRP is often student's first major research paper, the course will also deal with broader aspects of writing, presenting, and publishing research papers in linguistics. These aspects include (a) library/network research; (b) writing abstracts for conference presentations; (c) writing a paper for oral/poster presentation; and (d) publishing your work. If time permits, we will also discuss developing a strong CB and grant-writing.
