About the Book

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Duisburg-Essen, 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: New Zealand English is one of the most closely studied national varieties of English outside the USA and UK, and a source of significance for the dialect differentiation and historical evolution of English. Most of the work has been done in the relatively short period of about 15 years compared with the longer time frame of studies in British and American English.

Since 1840, when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between representatives of the British government and a number of Maori chiefs, English attached its importance. More and more Pakeha, as the Maori called settlers of European origin, came in three periods of mass migration between 1840 and 1880.
