Directory         1.     Julia Schäfer , Looking for Bilingual Puns Message 1: Looking for Bilingual Puns Date: 20-Feb-2012 From: Julia Schäfer <nicoweinstudents.uni-mainz.de> Subject: Looking for Bilingual Puns E-mail this message to a friend We are conducted a research project for the Department of English and Linguistics of the University of Mainz in Germany. We are a group of three students and we are writing a term paper on ''bilingual puns'' for our senior seminar ''Contrastive Linguistics: English-German with Prof. Callies. Since it is not easy to access a sufficient amount of bilingual puns (preferably English and German but otherwise, we would include any other European language as well), we would like to ask you whether you have a data base that we could use for our investigations and our analysis. We really would appreciate your help. Thank you very much in advance.
