137A modern Indo-Aryan language, Sinhala is one of the official languages of SriLanka together with Tamil and English. There are two alternative forms of it:formal and informal or, more precisely, written and spoken Sinhala. The existenceof these two forms has produced diglossia. In the course of its historySinhala came into contact with Sanskrit, Pli, Tamil, Portuguese, Dutch, andEnglish. When modern Sinhala is taken into account it is certainly Englishthat has influenced the idiom of Sri Lanka more than the others. The paperanalyses a peculiar usage of spoken Sinhala. The so-called ‘compound verb’construction, in which forms of the Sinhala verbs meaning “to doµ or “to be/becomeµ combine with a noun or respectively an adjective, is extended sothat those Sinhala verbs occur with non-integrated loanwords adopted fromEnglish. This phenomenon is interpreted as a case of rilexification.
