    Clive, you're into what 5 generations of language contact researchers haven't
    been able to answer! Good luck and have a look at 'A corpus-driven study of
    Turkish-English language contact in Australia' at
    <http://www.vicnet.net.au/~petek/thesis/> for a window on what the 6th
    generation should be doing!
    Cheers
    Petek

    Dear all,

    I'm looking for details of projects on automatic boundary identification
    in bilingual/multilingual texts, and corpus material containing such texts.
    I would prefer it if one of the languages were English, and the texts were
    ASCII. I suppose one such source would be a corpus showing code switching.
    Anyone know of such material/projects?

    (I know we could create such material artificially, but I was hoping to
    find naturally occurring material).
