 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,

Subject: Bilingual corpora

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
