================================================================  

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.

Little seems to be known about the anecdotally reported phenomenon 
of intra-word code-switching in spoken language, e.g., Zulu and 
English:  the  Zulu 'i' prefix is used as a plural morpheme marker before 
English words; Maltese and English:  English morpheme markers are 
added to Maltese words to mark tense and plurality.
 
Winford (2003, An Introduction to Contact Linguistics) concluded that 
there is no consensus about the extent and type of borrowing possible 
in language contact situations.
 
We are a research team setting up a corpus of data on this 
phenomenon. We would appreciate it if you could send any examples 
from your own experience or from other speakers you may know, to 
l.litosseliti at city.ac.uk. 

Thank you!
