The LINGUIST List depends on the generous contributions from
subscribers like you; we would not be able to operate without your
help.

The moderators, staff, and student editors at LINGUIST would like to
take this opportunity to thank you for your continuous support.

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

 Hello.

I'm a senior university student and working on my thesis in Japan.
I'm interested in pitch characteristics that Japanese speakers of
English tend to have.  Does anyone know any of relevant list?


 Thank you very much.

  Best wishes,

  Yuriko Matsushita

Dear Linguist Listeros,

I am looking for an accessible (online or CD-Rom) and searchable
corpus of bilingual communication (i.e. with some code-switching in
it) with one (or more) of the following language pairs:

- Spanish/German
- Spanish/English
- English/German

Does anyone has any information whether such corpora exist and if so
where and how do I get there or them, etc.

I'd appreciate any hint and comment. Thank you very much in advance

yours
