[Corpora: language boundaries + code switching]

[petek kurtboke]

Clive, you're into what 5 generations of language contact researchers haven't
been able to answer! Good luck and have a look at 'A corpus-driven study of
Turkish-English language contact in Australia' at
<http://www.vicnet.net.au/~petek/thesis/> for a window on what the 6th
generation should be doing! 
Cheers
Petek

Dear all,

I'm looking for details of projects on automatic boundary identification
in bilingual/multilingual texts, and corpus material containing such texts.
I would prefer it if one of the languages were English, and the texts were
ASCII. I suppose one such source would be a corpus showing code switching.
Anyone know of such material/projects?

(I know we could create such material artificially, but I was hoping to
find naturally occurring material).

Clive
