Welcome to the Code-Switching Bibliography Database. The project arose from the Code-Switching discussion list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/code-switching), which is open to subscription by anyone. Needless to say, the database is not a complete bibliography. Rather, it gathers personal bibliographies from the list's members.

The database is possible thanks to those people who contributed the bulk of the initial entries: Celso Alvarez Cáccamo, Joan A. Argenter, Laura Callahan, Jakob Cromdal, Marjorie Meechan, and Jim Wilce. We would like to thank all of them.

Vasu Renganathan is responsible for the technical makeup and design of the page, and Sharon Kling helped in entering data.

Format of the entries is based on the EndNote bibliography program. In the future, we plan to be able to generate plain tagged text output from searches for easier download and capture by standard bibliography managing programs. We hope that users will find the database useful, and that thanks to users' contributions, it will continue to expand and grow.

Users and members of the system have a number of options:

You may browse the database by going to browse entries. Note that the contents are presented in chunks of ten listings at a time, in alphabetical order; you can jump ahead by selecting other chunks of ten entries at the bottom of this page. If you want to print a particular page, use the `print' command on your own computer.
You may search this database according to a number of indices, keywords, or languages of your choice. To do this, go to `search entries.' The result of your search can then be downloaded and/or printed on your own computer, using the `print' or `save as' commands available on your system.
You may propose new entries for the d-base by using the `new entry' option. Just fill in the blanks with the appropriate information; any fields you leave blank will be left blank in the d-base. List owners will then review and edit your proposed entry and then enter it into the dbase.
You may also offer corrections, emendations, or additional information about a particular entry, by sending an email to
We particularly would appreciate receiving information about a number of entries where it is not currently specified as to which languages are the subject of the code-switching. This information is not given in the original source(s) of the d-base, and we would like to be able to add this if you know it.
