Delving into a linguistic phenomena

The book, Sinhala-English code-mixing in Sri Lanka by Chamindi Dilkushi Senaratne 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.The author is a senior lecturer at the University of Kelaniya and the book published by the Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics/Landelijke-LOT can be purchased and viewed online at www.lotpublications.nl
