Subject: Re: RE english-spanish radio ad



Well, no, there wasn't any redundancy in the radio ad, but rather,

a pretty clear case of

1. code-mixing on the numbers

one eight cero cero

and

2. an exclam with "Spanish" phonology

ey (=Eng "hey)--actually, more [e:y]

and

3. a Spanish word that most (?) urban/Chicagoan speakers would know

chica



all said in a big, bluff, come-on voice. Definite pause between

the numbers and the rest:



"one eight cero cero PAUSE [e:y] chica!"
