It is widely debated whether mixed languages stem from code-switching. One clear example of this genesis type, Gurindji Kriol, and other probable examples, from recent language contact between traditional Australian languages and English-based pidgins/creoles, are presented. The paper esecially focuses on the Verbal-Nominal split in these languages' genesis, which is reanalysed as a split between INFL (Tense-Aspect-Mood) dominated elements and the rest of the clause.
