j'ai uniquemt eu des nouvelles de Cornell et U Chicago. jai fait mes candidatures pour litt comparee mais, apparemment ,il n'y avait que 3 places pour 100 demandes. Alors, par consequent, j'etais "echangee" et prise par les departements de "Romance Studies."

jai fait mon diplome d "undergraduate" a Yale, et tu peux me poser des questions concernant le departement si tu vx?...

Cornell was my second choice, so I'm happy :)

who are you waiting on, other than Yale? and what field/century?

bisous, bon courage

Hello French speakers,

This might be somewhat irregular, but I'm actually posting here because I don't speak French...

I'm working on an honors BA thesis on domestic feminism and cooperative housekeeping in the later 19th and early 20th centuries. I've found a French academic who seems to have written a number of articles on this topic -- of course, they're all in French, which I don't speak! My Spanish is sufficiently similar that I can see that some of this might be very useful for my thesis, but obviously I wouldn't want to venture a translation for my thesis using Babelfish or something. :roll:

So here's my question: would anyone on here be looking for a spot of translation work? Most of the articles are something like 14 or 15 pages, and for some I may just need a page or two translated. I put out a request through my advisor for anyone local who would be interested, and I got an offer to translate for $2/page. While this is eminently reasonable for skilled labor...I simply don't have the funds to drop $30 or $40 out-of-pocket on a translation right now. (You all have been applying to grad schools -- you know the financial toll that takes!)

I know that I'm basically asking for charity, but I could probably offer about $10 or $15 -- and of course credit for the translation in my citation. The thesis will be "published" in my university's library and available through inter-library loan.

If anyone is interested, please reply or private-message me. Also, if this message is too far off-topic or against forum rules, I apologize to the mod and members and will delete it immediately. I just thought that this might be the best place to come for understanding people with great skills! Good luck to everyone waiting on their applications, and I hope that you all get into your first choices, with ample funding! :)

thatmarengirl,

le DGS de Penn m'a dit qu'on va savoir la decision a la fin de fevrier ou au debut de mars - donc il faut toujours attendre, malheureusement :( bon courage!

(desole pour le manque d'accents, maintenant que j'utilise mon portable je ne peux pas les taper)

et alors, je joigne ce fil psk'il me parait que je suis bel et bien une candidate de francais maintenant!

quant a moi, j'ai entendu des nouvelles (de plus) de Columbia, pour lentretien.

j'attend tjrs NYU, U Michigan, Berkeley (ms tous pour litt comp... mais j parie que je vais etre "echangee" pr le francais encore)

y-a-t-il qqun qui fait XVIIeme, genre, sexualite, et theorie contemporain (derrida, deleuze, foucault) aussi? et je m'excuse pr les accents aussi, mon ordi est un peu null.

Pas de Foucault pour moi, dommage, mais ton sujet me semble interessant! Moi je m'interesse au Moyen Age et la Renaissance, et le lien entre l'hagiographie francaise et celle d'Espagne, particulierement en ce qui concerne la Pelerinage de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle.

Je ne veux plus attendre!

I'm guessing most people are applying to literature programs, but are there opinions for UIUC vs UT-Austin for French linguistics?

This thread is old, but I'm also applying to French linguistics programs. I'm really excited about it. Anyone else as excited/nervous as me? :D

Bonne chance, tout le monde~

I've just been starting to do research on French linguistics grad programs (will be for Fall 2011). Where have you been looking? I feel it's kind of an obscure field and it's hard to know where the best programs are! I know of Indiana, UIUC, and Texas. I'm also Canadian so I'm looking at Canadian schools as well. I also have no ideas of the acceptance rates...
