"On February 5 [2002] Viveka Velupillai de-fended her thesis in Nijmegen on the Tense-Mood-Aspect system of Hawai`i Creole English. Supervisors were Bernard Comrie and Pieter Muysken.

Viveka concludes that the TMA system of HCE is rather different from the way it is portrayed in earlier descriptions, and presents many typologically unmarked features."
