Abstract
Using a collection of 30000 text messages in french, the author examines how languages are mixed, borrowed from, code-switched with and influence each other in an SMS context. After presenting the multilingual aspects of the corpus, the paper focuses on the type of switching that occur in text messages (metaphoric or situational) and which display, at least partially, the functions of language contact in new communication media.
