LINGUIST List 21.5024 Sat Dec 11 2010 Qs: Resources and Examples: Intra-Word Code-Switching Editor for this issue: Danielle St. Jean <daniellelinguistlist.org> 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. To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.cfm.

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.litosseliticity.ac.uk. Thank you!
