The inaugural Special Issue for Languages, co-edited by Usha Lakshmanan, Osmer Balam and Tej K. Bhatia, is entitled “Mixed Verbs and Linguistic Creativity in Bi/Multilingual Communities”. It focuses on the concept of linguistic creativity and how this relates to mixed verb constructions. This volume brings together a collection of seven articles (in addition to the Editorial), which collectively elucidate our understanding of the synchronic and/or diachronic dimensions of mixed verbs among different bi/multilingual populations across the world. In so doing, they explore (to varying degrees) key theoretical issues on the development and use of mixed verbs, and thereby contribute to our understanding of the creativity underlying language mixing in the bi/multilingual mind. Contributions draw on a variety of data sources to investigate mixed verbs and linguistic creativity in diverse contact situations involving different language pairs such as Bengali-English, Cantonese-English, Welsh-English, Hindi-English, Korean-English, Spanish-English, among others. Languages (
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/languages) is an open access multidisciplinary journal of language/s and linguistics. In view of the range of broad and practical applications, our goal is to promote research on the diverse aspects of the world’s languages along three dimensions:
1. Languages in Space (e.g., geopolitical, sociological, psychological, neurobiological and educational perspectives).
2. Languages in Time (e.g., evolutionary, real-time processing, acquisitional and life-span developmental perspectives).
3. Languages in Interaction (e.g., perspectives from research on translation, language mixing, cross-language and cross-modal influences and cross-cultural communication).
