I only have a moment as it’s time to relax before bed. I’ve been studiously busy researching for my paper on the use of multiple conceptual thesauri by interdisciplinary scientists [and yes, I'm being intentionally vague].
I have probably read, or re-read, somewhere around 8-9 articles in the last 2 days. And a dozen more in the last days of 2006. More to go, too. And some books to probe….
I’m going in to see my advisor tomorrow and have emailed Dr. Palmer, too, to see if she is around to help me focus my paper a bit. I just need to catch up with Kathryn, but also talk about an independent study for Spring, which is rapidly approaching. I also want to talk to her about my paper for Dr. Palmer. With what I’m seeing at the moment, I could continue my work on this paper for a few more hours and maybe actually say something, besides learning a massive amount more. But this paper comes first.
Regarding the post title, or motivation therefor, last night I began reading Foucault – The Archaeology of Knowledge & The Discourse on Language. I only got about 15 pages, but it’s a start. I also continued reading Epictetus’ The Art of Living yesterday.
So, I seem to be off to a good start in my reading for 2007. I just hope I’m able to process some of this….
ooh ooh i’d love to see the paper when you’re done!
is that all the encouragement i get? after i talked with Kathryn this morning about possibly doing what i’d like to do for Carole, now, as an Independent Study in Spring.
As usual, I have way too much I want to do for this seminar paper; due in 11 days. And there’s so much more to learn….
Of course you can have a copy. That’s one for Carole, Lian, Kathryn, you,….
Hey, did you ever pick up Aitchison, et al 2004? And have you seen CCQ 37 (3/4) 2004 co-published as The Thesaurus: Review, Renaissance, and Revision, edited by Roe and Thomas? I am fairly impressed with the Roe and Thomas.
