    Hello,

    I'm a student of Spanish language and literature in Nijmegen, the
    Netherlands. Currently I'm writing my final thesis on Spanish in the
    United States of America, more specifically the influence of English on
    Spanish, and the language that's starting to spread due to language
    contact; Spanglish.

    In order to be able to write a good paper, I'm still looking (untill now
    unsuccessfully) for a corpus of texts in one of the Spanglish regional
    varieties. These texts should preferably be of coloquial character and if
    possible, should include records of different levels of speech, i.e.
    slang, standard and formal speech.

    This e-mail address was handed over to me by my teacher and I'm hoping
    that you could possibly help me out on my missing link. Any help
    whatsoever is of great use to me.

    Do you have a corpus of Spanglish texts or do you know of any existing corpus?

    Thank you very much,

    Paul van Els
    student of Spanish
    Catholic University of Nijmegen, Netherlands
