Title: Sociolinguistic and Cultural Dynamics in Sinhala Domestic Narratives: A Critical Analysis of the ‘Amma-Putha’ (Mother-Son) Paradigm in ‘Wal Katha’

This paper explores the linguistic and cultural constructs surrounding the popular genre of Sinhala domestic fiction colloquially known as "Wal Katha" (Jungle/Rural Stories), with a specific focus on the archetypal relationship between the mother ( Amma ) and the son ( Putha ). By analyzing the colloquialisms, narrative structures, and moral undertones of these stories, the study aims to deconstruct how traditional familial hierarchies are maintained, subverted, or fetishized within this literary form. The Amma-Putha dynamic serves as a microcosm for examining broader societal anxieties regarding maturation, authority, and the changing landscape of Sinhala rural life.

• Taboo appeal: Incest is one of the strongest social taboos. Content that breaks taboos can generate intense curiosity or arousal for some.
• Power dynamics: The mother-son dynamic allows exploration of power reversal (son taking dominant role) – a common fantasy trope in erotic fiction globally, not unique to Sri Lanka.
• Accessibility: For individuals with limited access to other forms of adult content (e.g., due to censorship, lack of private internet literacy), text-based stories are easier to hide and share.
