This book is a comprehensive but accessible description of English
as it is spoken in New Zealand. New Zealand English is one of the
youngest native speaker varieties of English, and is the only
variety of English where there is recorded evidence of its entire
history. It shares some features with other Southern Hemisphere
varieties of English such as Australian English and South African
English, but is also clearly distinct from these. For the past two
decades extensive research has focused on the evolution and ongoing
development of the variety. New Zealand English presents the
results of this research in an accessible way. Key Features *A
succinct but comprehensive account of the phonetic, phonological,
morphosyntactic, lexical and discourse features which are
characteristic of the dialect. *A discussion of the historical
development of New Zealand English. *A description of the current
social and regional variation within the variety. *An indication of
the areas where change is currently occurring. *Sample texts and an
annotated bibliography of relevant literature. There are also
several associated audio files, which provide examples of many of
the phenomena discussed: http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/dialects/
