Book Synopsis Sinhala-English Code-mixing in Sri Lanka by : Chamindi Dilkushi Senaratne
Book excerpt: This thesis contributes to one of the most criticized, devalued and yet highly frequent linguistic phenomena in post-colonial urban Sri Lanka: Sinhala-English CM. In answering the main research question of this thesis, this treatise seeks to provide an adequate account of mixed constructions prevalent in the Sinhala-English bilingual corpus within the framework proposed in Muysken’s (2000) CM typology.
