    I am looking for any corpus containing texts or transcripts of dialogue for
    English based Creoles and Pidgins. In particular I am interested in Jamaican
    Creole. I am hoping to do some research into this area.

    Michelle,

    Mason Integrated Technologies (MIT2) is currently setting up collaborative
    partnerships with several institutions that already have or are planning to
    compile spoken and text language corpora for different Creoles, including
    Jamaican Creole.

    See our web site indicated in the signature file of this message for more
    information.

    Peter Patrick in the Linguistics dept at your university might also be a
    source of assistance.

    Regards,

    MIT2 team
