Dear colleagues,

A student of mine, Margaret Mase, is doing her PhD research on the social
aspects of code-switching between Motu (Austronesian, Papua New Guinea) and
English. She would like to make contact with other students working on
code-switching. Anyone interested, please contact her directly at
<mase.marshalliname.com>. Many thanks.

On the topic of bilingualism or Spanglish, I'm looking for humorous
anecdotes of puns or errors made between Spanish and English. Please
respond if you have such examples or know of references.
