You could use dynamic syntax-tables via font-lock.
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
(lambda nil
(set (make-variable-buffer-local
'parse-sexp-lookup-properties) t)
;; get font-lock started
(unless font-lock-defaults
(setq font-lock-defaults '(nil t)))
(add-to-list
(make-variable-buffer-local
'font-lock-syntactic-keywords)
;; let ! between 2*a have word syntax
'("a\\(!\\)a" 1 "w"))))
Replace `a' and `!' with your characters and it'll work,
hopefully.
