We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I'm in my last undergraduate year of Mandarin in Egypt. We are required to do a research paper for graduation. My group has been assigned to do the research in linguistics. We are debating between loanwords in Chinese or Chinese proverbs. Our library’s references are limited, so I was wondering if anyone can recommend any reliable websites or books that can be bought online on these topics. The sources can be in Chinese or English or Arabic. The paper itself must be written in Chinese. Please keep in mind that none of us has ever written a research paper before.
