Subject:  Codeswitching data

I am a PhD student at the university of Barcelona, and I am working on
codeswitching.  In order to finish my dissertation I need naturally
occurring codeswtiching data.  Do you know of any corpora or people who
would be interested in providing/sharing some data, in exchange for some
money?  The language pair I am studying is Spanish/English.
Many thanks in advance
Sincerely
Silvia Milian

Subject:  Word Order in Non-Configurational Languages

What I'd like to know is if we can assume a (relatively) fixed word
order at an initial level (D-level) for non-configurational languages.
In other words, do these 'relatively free word order' languages have
transformation rules or can words be bunched together in any order
as long as they are assigned the case corresponding to the
function of the word in the sentence?
And if we aknowledge the existence of transformational rules in
these languages, must we not also aknowledge a fixed order to
which these rules can apply?
