This paper examines the constraints on the realizations of /t/ in New Zealand English. On the basis of a detailed examination of the speech of two similar speakers from the New Zealand ICE corpus, a series of allophonic rules is provided. It is then shown that the distribution of allophones for these speakers is not the same as for other speakers who have been previously analyzed. Part of the difference appears to be that different speakers assign /t/ to preceding or following syllables in different ways, which suggests that strategies of syllabification are not universally determined, but are sociolinguistically variable
