General Notes & Topic (Control)

General Notes on looking for material for your topic:

1. Please remember that I am not a librarian, so please don't keep asking me where you can or not get a certain material; I WILL help as much as possible but I am out of sync with the DU library system. You need to do some legwork to get to the material, it's a part of learning how to do research in India, there's no Father Librarian waiting with gifts for you.

2. Since you have the benefit of net-search, please do so to get as much bibliographic reference as possible. It's a job that has to be done by any researcher at any level. There's not going to be any spoon-feeding or holding-you-by-the-little-finger; if you haven't understood this by now, it's time to do so. Building a good reference is an invaluable asset in doing any form of research and always the first stop in writing a paper.

3. It's silly trying to be hep without being professional in your work habits, no one will take you seriously. It's not enough to be born modern, you need to be modern and for that a lackadaisical approach to life and work is about the last thing that should come in the calculations. If you think the city inspires you only to koi nahi and ho jaayegaa, you will simply not be prepared to face the real world of work and work ethics.

4. All this to make you all hopefully see that doing syntax is not like doing any other subject, there's a lot of style but also a lot of discipline. I believe that this group can make real headway and create a lasting impression on the linguistics scene surrounding us if we apply ourselves a little harder and shake ourselves up from the slumber that threatens to engulf us.
