Abstract:

The third edition of this popular guide for linguistics students offers clear, practical advice on how to succeed in graduate school, earn a degree, and find a job. Along the way, the author explains how to speak at conferences, publish journal articles, write grant applications, and complete a dissertation, all while developing vital skills and making important connections within the field and in the wider world. The book's discussion of the structure and funding of graduate school and the process of applying for academic jobs focuses on North America. Linguistics students everywhere will find valuable guidance about writing and research, publishing, seeking advice and working collaboratively, networking, and preparing for both academic and industry career paths. The third edition is about 50% longer overall than the second edition while retaining the focus on clear, practical advice that has made it such a trusted resource in the field. It is a major update with new resources and expanded topics throughout the book, and an entire new chapter on jobs in industry.
