Another option is to use [- eng] and [- spa] precodes for monolingual 
utterances, and tag individual words in mixed utterances: @s:eng, @s:spa and 
@s:eng&spa (for undetermined or unassigned).  This helps if you want to look 
at the word level as opposed to the utterance level (eg compare words 
occurring before an undetermined word, or see what words follow a particular 
Spanish word).  We are using this in the Bangor Miami (Spanish-English) and 
Patagonia (Welsh-Spanish) corpora, which will be published shortly on 
TalkBank.
