  • Regional Variation in New Zealand English Is Something of a Conundrum
    Regional variation in NZ English Regional variation in New Zealand English is something of a conundrum. Although a dialect of the Southland/Otago region is well-known and documented (Bartlett 1992, 2003; Hay, Maclagan and Gordon 2008), linguists have yet to find concrete evidence of other regional New Zealand English dialects. Yet the general New Zealand public are often adamant that there are regional differences in how New Zealand English is spoken. Folklinguistic evidence of regional variation Studies dealing with societal attitudes towards and beliefs about a language are called folklinguistic studies. Folklinguistic studies (Gordon 1997; Nielsen and Hay 2005) show that New Zealanders do tend to believe that there are regional differences in New Zealand English but, when asked to provide information about these differences, comments usually refer to characteristics of the region or the people living in the region rather than aspects of the language itself. For example, a study by Nielsen and Hay (2005) invited University students to rate their perceptions of New Zealand English in different regions according to its ‘pleasantness' and 'correctness' and to annotate a map of New Zealand with comments about speech in different regions. Although regions were rated differently, the ratings appeared to be based on stereotypes of the regions in question, rather than on any identifiable linguistic differences. People tended to rate their own region more highly for pleasantness and correctness and notes on the map mainly consisted of stereotypical descriptions such as ‘official’ for Wellington and ‘farmer speech’ for Taranaki. This inability to identify specific linguistic features that differ from one geographical area to the next stands in contrast to New Zealanders’ awareness of a ‘rolled’, or rather postvocalic /r/, in Southland.

    Trustpower Ltd Motukawa HEP Scheme Monitoring Programme Monitoring Report 2010-2014 Technical Report 2014-79 ISSN: 0114-8184 (Print) Taranaki Regional Council ISSN: 1178-1467 (Online) Private Bag 713 Document: 1431923 (Word) STRATFORD Document: 1460648 (Pdf) March 2015 Executive summary Trustpower Limited (Trustpower) operates the Motukawa hydroelectric power (HEP) scheme in the Manganui River and Waitara River catchment. Trustpower draws water from behind a weir on the Manganui River near Tariki and diverts this water through a race to Lake Ratapiko and then through penstocks to the Motukawa Power Station. The power station discharges into the Makara Stream, a tributary of the Waitara River. Consents for the Motukawa HEP scheme allow Taranaki Generation Ltd to maintain structures, to take, divert and discharge water, and to disturb the bed of Lake Ratapiko. This report for the period July 2010-June 2014 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess Trustpower’s environmental performance during the period under review, and the results and environmental effects of their activities. Trustpower holds a total of 23 resource consents, which include a total of 176 conditions setting out the requirements that the Company must satisfy. The Company holds five consents to allow it to take and use water, five consents to discharge water or sediment into the Makara, Mangaotea, and Mako streams, one consent to discharge wastes to land around Lake Ratapiko and four land use permits for bed disturbance and structures in the Manganui River, Mangaotea Stream and Lake Ratapiko. Seven additional consents allow Trustpower to abstract water, and construct and maintain structures in the Mangaotea Stream.

  • 'New Zealand Wars' Or
    The ‘New Zealand Wars’ or ‘Land Wars’?: The Case of the War in Taranaki 1860-61 DAnnY KeenAN Massey University When most New Zealanders reflect on the armed conflicts fought on New Zealand soil during the nineteenth century, the label ‘the New Zealand Wars’ generally springs to mind. Certainly, since the publication of James Belich’s important book, The New Zealand Wars and the Victorian Interpretation of Racial Conflict,1 the label has become securely embedded into the psyche of most New Zealanders, especially those with a more than passing interest in New Zealand’s nineteenth century history. Belich used the term throughout his book, as well as in his later popular television series of the same name. Running through the book, though less discernible in the television series, was the contention that these nineteenth century conflicts constituted a major war of sovereignty, one fought between defensive Maori tribes and an aggressive Crown. These wars were thus not mere storms in teacups; they were ‘bitter and bloody struggles’.2 In the second episode of the television series, Belich stood on the site of Te Kohia Pa, just south of Waitara, a pa shelled by the British Army in March 1860, proclaiming it to be the place where ‘the great civil wars of the 1860s’ began.3 These then were wars where a critical question was asked: who would rule New Zealand? The answer was the Crown, and the British Army ultimately prevailed over Maori and the King Movement in particular; and had done so by 1864. This was achieved despite (or so argues Belich) the skilful military innovations of Maori, especially the modern pa.4 New Zealand was therefore the reason for the war, and New Zealand was the prize.
