Sound change in Māori and the influence of New Zealand English
This article investigates sound change in the vowels of Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand. It examines the relationship between sound changes in Māori and in New Zealand English, the more dominant language, with which Māori has been in close contact for nearly 200 years. We report on the analysis of three adult speaker groups whose birth dates span 100 years. All speakers were bilingual in Māori and New Zealand English. In total the s…
The Story of New Zealand English
Because New Zealand English (NZE) developed sufficiently recently, sound recordings are available from the first generation of New Zealand born speakers. Some of these recordings are held in the Mobile Unit (MU) archive in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Canterbury and have been analysed by the Origins of New Zealand English Project (ONZE). This paper shows how the speakers from the MU archive have enabled the story of New Zeal…
The Near/SQUARE merger in New Zealand English
The merger between the phonemes of NEAR/I/and SQUARE /ε/ is one of the most salient characteristics of New Zealand English. This paper summarises the results of a diachronic study which has tracked the merger in real time. Over the course of the study pronunciation of the diphthongs has progressively moved towards NEAR. Acoustic analyses are presented which support the auditory-perceptual analysis and indicate that the two diphthongs almost compl…
Women and sound change
In this article we address Labov's claim that sound changes that are not stigmatized are led especially by young women who are the “movers and shakers” in the community, people with energy and enterprise. Such young women, at the same time, are conservative with respect to sound changes or stable linguistic variables that are stigmatized. We investigated this claim by comparing the pronunciation of the non-stigmatized front vowels / I /, /ε/, and…
How grown Grew from one syllable to two∗
This paper examines the use of two variants of participles ending in ‐own in New Zealand English: the traditional OWN and the newer analogical OWEN form. It traces the historical background of the OWEN variant, indicating where this occurs in other varieties of English. Data on current usage in New Zealand are presented showing that professional men and younger professional women prefer the OWEN variant, while non‐professional men and older women…
Out of the AIR and into the EAR
In this article, we report on the results of a study of the diphthongs EAR and AIR, which are merging for many New Zealand speakers. Each stage of the study, which has been repeated at five-year intervals since 1983, involves the analysis of word lists and sentences read by over 100 14- and 15-year-old school pupils. The results show a clear trend toward a merger to the EAR diphthong. This is also confirmed in a study carried out in 1994 of 79 sp…
