| Abstract | In this paper, we analyze contact phenomena involving Sarnami (also called “Surinaams Hindostaans”) and Surinamese Javanese with Sranan and Dutch, the two dominant languages of Suriname. We focus on the emergence of practices involving borrowing, multidirectional code-switching, and fusional mixing common to both languages that are typologically very different from the two donor languages Dutch and Sranan. We conclude that the convergence of patterns of borrowing and codeswitching may imply that multilingual practices can be determined by typological factors just as much as by social factors and the linguistic enactment of ‘Surinamese-ness’. |
