To: corpora at hd.uib.no

I am looking for any corpus containing texts or transcripts of dialogue for
English based Creoles and Pidgins. In particular I am interested in Jamaican
Creole. I am hoping to do some research into this area.

Michelle,

Mason Integrated Technologies (MIT2) is currently setting up collaborative
partnerships with several institutions that already have or are planning to
compile spoken and text language corpora for different Creoles, including
Jamaican Creole.

See our web site indicated in the signature file of this message for more
information.

Peter Patrick in the Linguistics dept at your university might also be a
source of assistance.

Regards,

MIT2 team
