Abstract

This article expands the discussion of Larry Smith's theory of intelligibility to explore multilingual language use with reference to code-mixing in the Indian context. Our findings suggest that the understanding of intelligibility in the context of bilingual/multilingual language mixing calls for a rich sociolinguistic model that is socially realistic and culturally rooted.
