Abstract:

Until recently, mixed languages were considered an oddity of contact linguistics, 
with debates about whether or not they actually existed stifling much descriptive 
work or discussion of their origins. These debates have shifted from questioning 
their existence to a focus on their formation, and their social and structural 
features. This book aims to advance our understanding of how mixed languages 
evolve by introducing a substantial corpus from a newly-described mixed 
language, Gurindji Kriol. Gurindji Kriol is spoken by the Gurindji people who live 
at Kalkaringi in northern Australia and is the result of pervasive code-switching 
practices. Although Gurindji Kriol bears some resemblance to both of its source 
languages, it uses the forms from these languages to function within a unique 
system. This book focuses on one structural aspect of Gurindji Kriol, case 
morphology, which is from Gurindji, but functions in ways that differ from its 
source.
