I am curreently looking for different English translations of
contemporary French novels. They should be done by different people (not
re-edittings. Any titles in mind (best of all if the translators are
from the same country- whichever)) ?

Thank you.

        I am going to try to look at the processing of speech between
bilinguals that may contain code-switched items with the hope of
saying something about the mental organization of bilingual lexicons.
        I want to use a lexical decision task, so I'll need to
construct nonsense words in English and Japanese.  How can I determine
which constructed words are Japanese pseudowords?
        Can anyone recommend introductory readings in Japanese syntax,
phonology, and/or prosody?
        Does anyone have any general advice?

Thank you,
Sally Davis
